Wolf re-introduction?

[JakkoUK]

I know this is off-topic, but is a topic very much on the agenda these days.

 

Wolves and other apex predators such as the lynx used to roam the UK in large numbers in the past. However, due to human persecution they are no more. Today we look to change this and re-introduce forgone species through what is known as re-wilding.

 

If you could take one minute of your time by clicking the link below and filling out a very short and easy questionnaire it would help a great deal to a friend of mine who is looking into the public perceptions of the UK on the feasibility of a possible wolf reintroduction programme as part of his final year dissertation.

 

This study will help enormously in understanding the publics perceptions on a relatively controversial proposal.

I think we should run a risk assessment first. What is the H+S risk to everyone?

Well projects such as reintroducing wolves are very much in there early stages. If they were to be reintroduced it would be managed a great deal, and the selected area for their reintroduction would more than likely be in the Scottish highlands where enough land is available; enough biomass to support a pack of wolves and in an area that is very much rural and away from high density human populated areas. Although conflicts are bound to arise with farmers and their livestock.

 

But your concerns are very much the type of thing that the questionnaire is asking for, so your contribution would be very much appreciated as others would obviously have the same concerns for their health and safety.

There's a bear that escaped into wild from this site.

Extremely low. Are you scared?

There are very few examples of where wolves have attacked humans. There is actually a much higher chance of domestic dogs attacking humans than their wild ancestors. Wolves like most wild animals would only attack humans if under threat, with young and if they were starving (that being highly unlikely with the overpopulated deer populations in the U.K.).

Wolves will never make a comeback without a huge investment from a new billionaire owner.

So this has got nothing to do with another review of the judicial system then.

I think they should bring Jet back first.
