Dear Forumers,
There are various plans apparently for the "re-wilding" of the UK, the reintroduction of species of wild animals that have been previously driven out of the landscape or exterminated.
So we may see the comeback of wolves, sloths, bears and woolly mammoths for example. This would surely be a nice boost for biodiversity as Britain is said to be one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world.

Sloths and woolly mammoths? …. so when did Jurassic Park become real and engineer an ample diverse gene pool herd of these fantasy creatures ready for this re-wilding? Are you sure you’ve thought this through? … far better to de-wild the UK of it’s rogue unmanageable feral human population first … thru mass fast track deportations. ….. then you will create the room for other creatures and their necessary sustainable habitats to survive in this overcrowded space. |

Veronika Oleksychenko Beavers have been re-introduced, a nice start. Red Kites are now so common we forget it was only a few years back they were almost extinct. |

I live in the UK, my weekends are wild enough without shooting revived wooly mammoths.

Yes, I find some reintroductions as desirable, but why introduce animals that can kill you, or your child or your spouse or your neighbours? I don't see the point. |

I remember watching some documentary about Tigers in India, the guy was trying to persuade local villagers to stop a hunt for a Tiger that was close to their village. The village elder asked him if he would be interested in taking the Tiger and releasing it in Surrey. I laughed out loud. A good point well made! |

Absolutely. Terrorists are now an endangered species. The bad news is that there are plenty dinghies with criminals on board coming over. |
