dufc1980 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Would really keep the city streets clear of drunken yobs and asshole youth gangs, come to think of it.Not at first, but certainly after a few scares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ironic though we should completely ignore the elephant in the room when talking about overpopulation here. Have they been introduced as well? Obviously just as household pets, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Bring them all back. All the wealthy landowners whose estates are currently only accessible to the privileged should be made to host them and can get a cut of the profits from wild Scottish safaris. The odd bear rampaging around towns can only be good IMO. Until they - dig up your garden drag wheelie bins down the street damage your car because you left half a sandwich on the back seat scare children casually lick or chew on a drunk sleeping on a wall/bench open your kitchen door and steal from your fridge chase late night revelers scrap with dogs get trapped in skips, lorries, shops and garages beg for food from tourists Wait a minute....this looks already too familiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Humans are apex predators. We're above bears. I assure you that I am in no way above a bear.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I would too if I moved to a country that wasn't a borderline police state (guns are the tip of the iceberg for the UK really). Which I will as soon as is possible. Whoosh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Saw this once on tv maybe Ray Mears but bears hate the sound of two rocks being smacked together, maybe try this out if I want to get to the bar when there's too many Rangers fans in my favoured pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to purposefully handicap one of your greatest advantages over the bear though then of course, the odds are going to swing against you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Wolves stay clear of humans, but is there enough room left for them to be left alone? People need to be educated but given the attitude of some landowners towards predatory animals such as birds of prey you just can't educate people who won't listen. I think its a bad move if they are ever allowed to run loose. Scotland has changed so much since wolves were native to this country and I can't see there being any tolerance especially from estates or farmers. In answer to your first question: probably not. Scotland has wilderness but not on the scale of N. America obviously. I don't think the wolves would want to come near us so we would only ever see them from a distance. I think you are right about the landowners. Some of them are total scum, killing rare bird species and such. Scotland has changed yes but we can change with it. Technically wolves belong here, they aren't though because we wiped them out. If you watch the video I posted earlier you will see how much they can change our countryside. Yes it would bring challenges but bringing back these long lost creatures is the right thing to do to restore the balance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufc1980 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 By the way, apparently wild boar are already here. Just read there's a significant population in Dumfries and Galloway, as well as in other parts of the UK.Farmers already up in arms.http://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/scotland-s-wild-boars-killing-lambs-claim-gamekeepers-1-2513035Also some of the boar here are fucking massive, skip to 3:45: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
