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

I don't want them because they won't confine themselves to eating deer.
They will be more than a nuisance with sheep.
Where do you live?

Lynx are predominantly a woodland animal - where deer mainly live. And
it would seem deer are their prefered prey.

Very few sheep are grazed in woodlands. Undoubtably there would be some
predation on sheep but this can be dealt with as currently happens in
Scotland with Sea Eagles.

And as is the case with Sea Eagles (and Ospreys) the interest among many
people of seeing wild Lynx would create a significant tourist
attraction, providing financial boosts to local economies.
