figgy Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Listened to it on radio at lunch time. Disgraceful that it was suffocated when being handled and moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie10 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Don't survive well in the UK do they? They haven't even been reintroduced yet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Watching the wright stuff? Channel 5 this morning and they had a guy on the phone and were asking him why is it that any escaped animal seems to get shot and not recaptured, the guys job was capturing animals, he said the only person who did their job correctly with the escaped lynx was the fella who shot it, on £800 a day they said!!

old man Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Surely it begs the question of how an escapee has to be shot on safety grounds but the re introduced ones will be safe to be at large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getthegat Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Disgraceful set of affairs. And £800 a day! Really. Should have recaptured them both and given better welfare when they did. Yes it does make you wonder why if and when they are reintroduced, the cats won't be considered dangerous then. Will they be tame ones that someone feeds every day and hill walker's can stroke.
