Then do you think we would get urban wolves like the foxes ?

I wonder if urban wolves would help control the millions of rats that live underneath the pavements in London? Just a thought. Maybe wolves are too big a predator. Lovely animals though.

I shot a couple of rats yesterday from my bathroom window whilst sitting on the can 🙂

Now there's a picture that will take days to get rid off!!

I do the rats round here, a decent air rifle and they don't like it up them.

it's possible but they would eat all the cats, dogs and foxes first then start on the humans

Not so sure I'd be as happy if they were reintroduced - we've kind of sanitised the UK so there isn't a lot out there that might want to eat us.

 

I know the arguments are for population control - deer and so on - but have the landscape and farming changed too much for them? Sheep which are nicely penned in or a deer able to jump and run away, I don't think the farmers would be too happy either.

 

I'd be tempted to agree with you. A nice idea in theory maybe, but not practical in reality, on a heavily populated island with lots of livestock around. Seems like bit of a sledgehammer to crack a peanut type of idea anyway. The huge deer problem surely needs attention but that can't be the easiest solution. We just need to properly cull the buggers and get the meat on the supermarket shelves, pronto. That'd kill a few birds with one stone as well.
