Hugely intelligent article. Very important to oppose the UK government's knee-jerk reactions to the removal of targeted wildlife.

It's really too bad they couldn't have left the lynx in the Cairngorms. Sigh. Thanks for the great article.

Excellent article, I hope you’ve got a few more lined up for 2025! The background to this one is very weird. It sounds like the lynx were so tame that they were practically household pets, which makes me think it was not a serious attempt at (guerilla) rewilding. There was no way they were ever going to last more than a night or two.
