amazing, now if only farmers don’t shoot them all. We desperately need wild predators…they are such key species for ecosystems. Contrary to a lot of what people think, nature left alone isnt particularly good for anything – you need animals trampling seeds, shitting, dying (insect and fungus growth) etc etc
It’s obviously too early because I immediately started to wonder why we were putting deodorant in an enclosure.
We really need them down here in the New Forest. It’s not like they’re going to be roaming in packs stealing babies out of prams from outside pubs. There are too many deer, there isn’t really enough food for them even though they eat all the young saplings and a small population of wild cats would keep them managed properly.
They have Lynx in the other Wildwood center in Devon which is worth a visit if Canterbury is too far albeit you will never see the Lynx, it will stay hidden! But you can see a lot of other beautiful British Wildlife and they have Wolves also.
I think the best approach would be a giant Safari Park somewhere probably in Northern Scotland and install a massive fence and then add various megafauna and get the British Public exposed to the idea of Wilderness and Ecologically restored systems.
Apex Predators have to be treated with the most care in this respect. Already the top comment is demonizing farmers and being a pain in the neck. The right process has to include everyone involved then everyone has an equal value of skin in the game. Remember Food Systems are iirc only 2 weeks away from empty shelves in supermarkets no matter how much dirt is thrown at farmers and they would soon change their tune. You need to get buy in for top Apex Predators and demonstrate wide ecological benefits while mitigating direct livelihood or living safety concerns etc.
An enclosure, so like a prison, a prison for cats which are famously difficult to contain unlike humans who we’re accidentally releasing on a regular basis.
Shall we just save many months or years bickering about where and squillions of pounds on fencing and just release them, the end result will be the same, some free lynx, millions spent on trying to recapture them while some 6yo Scottish girl feeds them gold fish or something.
