Now there are good ideas, there are bad ideas , there are silly ideas and there are downright stupid ideas, and this must surely fit very comfortably in the bloody stupid category .
Not so long ago some barmpot thought it a wheeze to bring the Red Kite back. Now the skies are full of them all circling round trying to find a meal. If you are going to encourage a top predator then make sure there is enough for them to eat without putting domestic animals at risk.
The Eurasian Lynx is a pretty big animal to have wondering about at the bottom of your garden, ( adult males can reach 100lb) , and I for one, would not like to confront it without a 12 bore under my arm.

Vaguely recollect someone wanted to introduce the wolf and the bear back into the Highlands a few years back. Thankfully this fell by the way but this proposal is in an English county so we can't even cite the independence excuse.

I wonder if we could get some funding to bring back other long lost natural things? Bubonic plauge, rabies etc. which might actually help with some of the other issues mentioned on this thread.

Not a lot of point old son; someone has already brought it back. So for you, demonstrating even more just how dangerous such ideas are!!!!
