As I point out above, the argument that there is no room for them

the existing deer.

What deer? The only deer here are enclosed in Bradgate Park.

I suggest that you look at the references I gave. Even though the
relevant deer (roe and muntjac) are shy, solitary, woodland animals,
crepuscular in the case of the first and nocturnal and favouring
thick cover in the case of the second, and so are rarely seen by
the general public, the evidence of their existence and density is
clear for those with eyes to see.

I do not want Lynx here. Full stop. Deer are not a problem here, we just eat
them, venison is yummy.

But we aren't eating enough deer, by a long way - there are 100,000s in
the UK causing a huge amount of damage because there are no natural
predators.

Why don't you want Lynx? Reintroductions are happening in several areas
of Europe with no major problems, as far as I understand.
