Do you know any thing about a lynx,thay would rather run away from a human than confront them,so it would not be a threat.Originally Posted by Tandy
From a wildlife expert
“We tend to forget that we’ve now got 65 million people in the UK so actually reintroducing lynx is absolutely disastrous for us as a population,”
“Lynx kill sheep and they are a danger to the public on walks around the countryside
A load of bolloks how many people have been attacked world wide i bet it is zero.
With respect Tandy , I don't agree with you
Who is this expert ?
They are about the size of a Springer spaniel !
Puma , yes
Lynx .......how the feck was it going to attack a child ?
I think it was a shameful act to kill a beautiful animal , local farmers probably sticking their nose in , those cruel bastards who support fox hunting etc
It's not much bigger than a Springer spaniel
Mind you if it had got hold of some speed ?
Forget humans, the thing was probably freightened to feck of vehicles.
Foxes are vermin
The word vermin is used by people to describe something they don't like
The fact is , the fox is our last apex predator left and if you don't fence in your chickens it's natural instincts will be to kill as many as possible as food is hard to come by in the winter , they are not mindless killers
Unlike the people who hunt them down with packs of dogs and set terriers on their cubs
Gorgeous creatures. We had one living at the bottom of the garden this year. Friendly thing who was shit scared of my cat.
Don’t deserved to be ripped to shreds by fecking toffs.
A fox will kill every chicken in the coup, not because it's hungry just for the hell of it.
The quicker the fox are eradicated the safer chickens will be.
No you are completely wrong , foxes are scavengers and opportunistic killers ......they will kill a pen of chickens because they are wild animals and tend to bury what they have killed to preserve it .......they often return to chicken pens the night after a kill to make sure the food source is still there ....of course generally it isn't .......as the people who have failed to pen in their chickens properly have cleared up .......instead of accepting this is how a wild animal works they blame the fox
Indeed , beautiful wild animals
Saw three fox cubs from the train as it was pulling out of Barry Docks a while back. They were unsure about the train, moving towards it, then away. Beautiful. I looked up the carriage to see if anyone else noticed this fantastic sight, but, naturally they were all heads down on their life support machines sending text messages. A few weeks back I saw an adult fox asleep in full view in broad daylight at the same spot.
They are beautiful animals , I was out walking in the lanes a few summers ago in the early evening ........all of a sudden a young fox appeared in front of me , we sort of both froze and after looking at me for about ten seconds he just turned his back and gently vanished into the field
I can't believe people take pleasure from hunting down a wild animal with dogs until it is exhausted and tearing it to bits , the death for a fox is rarely quick , the hounds often take some time to kill it .....don't believe the nonsense from the countryside alliance , the league against cruel sports have extensive videos which are too distressing to post online
As far as I am concerned those who enjoy fox hunting are in the same league as the people who go badger baiting or illegal dog fighting
And from another expert
"OFF THE MENU
The critical thing here is not what a lynx *could* do, but what a lynx *would* do; throughout recorded history, the 10,000 or so lynx across Europe, and the 30,000+ across Russia and Asia, have never attacked a human being; child or adult."
With the ease that news is distributed around the world nowadays when has anybody heard or read about a Lynx attack on a human ?
They are afraid of people , like most wild animals , and with good reason considering we seem to be hell bent on wiping out nature
That is terrible.
Awful.
So in other words the Lynx posed zero threat, got scared when some clumsy f’cker went arse over tit and made a bolt for it. So for that reason an animal, we brought over here and is not native to this country, deserves to die?
I despise the human race at times.
It seems to me the Council were misadvised by the vet. In a statement they said they “ ... received additional advice late on Friday afternoon, November 10, from a specialist veterinary surgeon that the risk to public well-being had increased from moderate to severe ... ".
Given the fact wild Lynx co-exist peacefully with humans in many European countries and that there has never been a single documented attack on a human anywhere then this advice was clearly wrong and irresponsible.
This sad tale also goes to show just how far many people are distanced from the natural world.
When we were rebuilding St Pancras there was a fox used to cross the Logistics yard every evening to go and scavenge in the waste. He/she lived somewhere behind Kings Cross. I sent an e-mail out to tell everyone collecting anything from the yard to wear gloves and work on the assumption that it might be contaminated with urine.
That night it snowed and the next morning when I went in my car was covered in snow. The fox had walked to my car, up over the boot across the roof and down the bonnet.
Where the feck did he see the email? He wasn't even on the address list!!!
If it had crawled through someones cat flap and mauled some kid, the experts on here would be saying "why didn't they shoot the fecking thing when it was hiding under the caravan.
I think the Vet is more qualified to make the call rather than people on a MB, don't you?
Sounds like the vet made a right feck up here ........he's a vet , not a animal behavioural psychologist
He or she is going to be asked some questions
But it did not though,it would try to stay away from humans not go in to a house.
