Interesting reintroduction planned for specific areas, it's worked
in some
other areas of Europe and we certainly need something to control the
Deer.

Absolutely NOT.

Oh, definitely yes.

Prefered prey is deer of which there are far to many in the UK - because
there are no natural predators - causing all sorts of habitat
destruction.

Reintroduction of Lynx is already happening in large parts of Western
Europe and seems to be going fairly well.

Lynx would be a marvellous addition to many ecosystems.


Whatever you think, proposals for the reintroduction of Lynx are in the
pipeline, see:

Unfortunately, due to the hysteria of the ignorant, it is unlikely to
be in time to save many of the UK's woodland underplants and animals
(including birds and butterflies). I don't expect to live to see the
deer menace (and it IS an ecological menace) alleviated.


Nick Maclaren.


No deer menace in my part of the UK.
