there's strong evidence to suggest that introducing a apex predator has a significant positive effect on the natural environment as in yellow stone. However the Scottish Highlands aren't yellow stone it seems total madness to me that they ban hunting deer with dogs yet there solution to the deer problems eating tree saplings causing land deterioration is to release a pack of wolf's that will no doubt be in direct conflict with livestock...shooting deer doesn't really solve the problem as it doesn't keep the deer on there toes moving them around and keeping constant pressure on them as a susta
