Reintroducing a voracious predator into an ecosystem that has already adapted to live without them – what could go wrong?
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Lynx cat, but I can see them giving farmers far more of a problem than foxes, or even wolves for that matter.

I’m all for re-invigorating nature.
But, by all means try and propose introducing predators like Lynx that will likely kill domestic cats.
Whether people re-wilding zealots like it or not, people will not be happy with the introduction of predators like Lynx that will kill their much loved kitty, or dog.
Times change. A degree of re-wilding is very beneficial and welcome. However, there are limits, as there should be!

Worth nothing that it’s not as though they were hunted to extinction as recently as the 19th or 20th centuries: it was 1,300 years ago…
At what point is a “re-introduction” just a random “introduction”
