Re: Escaped lynx shot dead for ****s sake
Theres no doubt in my mind that if that animal had attacked a young child the conversation on here would have been totally different.The righteous outrage would have been directed at the authorities no doubt.

How many people do you know live in the same natural habitat as lynx's.They are not indigenous so my point stands.The ones to blame are the people that bring these wild animals within our shores.

They did but were wiped out by humans about a 1000 years ago.
Re: Escaped lynx shot dead for ****s sake
Not defending the apparently ludicrous council/marksman, but there is also elements of our own litigious society, and the blame culture with which we have surrounded ourselves.
Nobody wants to be responsible for the slimmest bad outcome from allowing the slightest risk.
And it was surely a slight slight 'risk' here.
The other inescapable point is that, unless wholly endangered, animals like the Lynx, and others, should be living as free animals in their indigenous habitats.
Feck the 'Zoo' and its indignation too.
No need for the Victorian notion 'Zoo' in the developed world in the 21st Century.

Loads in Europe
Of course they are indiginous , we wiped them out !!
The domestic moggy that kills millions of songbirds and endangered species like the doormouse isn't indiginous though , that was imported so if we are going to kill anything , wiping out millions of them would be a good start

No risk at all except to maybe a few sheep
Re: Escaped lynx shot dead for ****s sake
Now it turns out that the zoo have accidentally killed a 2nd Lynx, trying to catch it with a noose.
For absolute FS..

And I'm petrified if I happen to be out walking my dog when they come flying through the village - I don't trust the hunting dogs! I'm never quite sure when they are coming either but I know that many people feel it's a nuisance. Why not just stick to a field...not an entire village or 2! I hate the whole idea of fox hunting and in all honesty and think it's barbaric and although there are no longer real foxes involved and the dogs are following scent if they were to come across a real fox I'm. Sure they wouldn't just ignore it! Poor thing would be killed.

Bunch of bloodthirsty animals and I don't mean the poor fox
There are a lot of bully boys following fox hunting who intimidate anyone protesting against it
One local woman is a star though , every year she's out early waving her banners about , good on her
Oh they do kill the foxes despite it being against the law , all this hunting a false scent is a con , there are loads of videos filmed by the league against cruel sports showing foxes being killed
But the police do nothing about it
One law for the toffs , another for everybody else
Re: Escaped lynx shot dead for ****s sake
"One law for the toffs , another for everybody else"
Unfortunately that is exactly how it is, was, & probably will be forever & not just where Fox hunting is concerned.
