It is nice to have the wildlife an i would like to see them in scotland. As for other countries with much larger areas than scotland just wonder if it work as well here. Like the scottish wild cat would like to see more help for them 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will stalk from high points (trees or cliffs) and jump at the throat of the the prey. The most affected game will be roe deer. Of course, it will need hiding points to stalk and large forest areas in order to avoid humans. It is very shy. Human attacks are very rare but they exists. Damage in domestic animals are not so bad as the ones from wolves or bears but they exist (especially lambs and goats) The wild cats from the area will be killed and pushed back.

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) It does strike me as somewhat hypocritical that 'we' think we can tell Africa how to conserve their native fauna and ecosystems when we wiped ours out hundreds of years ago and won't give reintroduction much consideration. Most facebook 'conservationists' of the West would have some dirt poor African f***ing lynched for poisoning a herd of elephants that are threatening his livelihood but it's alright for us here to stand on the prosperous shoulders of men that did exactly the same.... It's a nuanced and complex topic but if we value nature we have to start looking at the bigger picture. Edited August 18, 2020 by Born Hunter 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No need to go to Africa for seeing hypocritical "green" behavior. In Romania we are forced to fully protect bears, wolves and lynxes only because we had bad representatives when we negotiated EU membership. The management of big predators was well organized, hunting ~400-500 bears each year and still maintaining a strong population. Now everything is out of controls, human attacks are often, crop and cattle damages are high (and rarely paid!) and revenge killing is a common thing. Bunch of "conservationists" from Germany, France or Holland are lecturing us on how to coexists! It is simply outraging 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
