Stuart said:I think it is a brilliant idea, pity they are going to contain them
with a giant electric fence. Giving the Wolf the right to roam would
certainly help keep the parasitic sheep and deer numbers down!
It's part of a series of long term proposals (and going back some time)
up for discussion and certainly a long way from any approval.
As I understand it there are initially limited proposals for species
such as the beaver, and that any proposals for species such as bear and
wolf are a long way down the list and on the distant legal and political
horizon, and would most likely be dependent on the outcomes of any
possible trial introductions of species such as the beaver.
We've seen successful introductions of species such as White-tailed Sea
Eagle, Osprey and Red Kite, and currently there is a trial introduction
of Great Bustards on Salisbury Plain.
