Lynx spotted in the highlands?

[JockStalk]

Is there an aul mannie in Kingussie wandering about and surreptitiously shaking a bag of kittie-kat?

What do they taste like ?

***conspiracy theory alert***
These semi-tame and easily recaptured lynx are just a blind to distract the authorities attention from the simultaneous release of dozens of truly wild lynx that's secretly taking place all over Scotland as we speak....

(I just made that up, btw).

you jest, but could quite easily be correct! The old distract in one place and be up to no good in another!

Legal quarry for those with feral cats listed on their licence?

If a Feral Lynx was attacking livestock in the same way as say an out of control dog, what would the livestock owner do?

Staple diet: Roe Deer

All part of the drive to control Highland deer numbers in the interest of forest regeneration.

They do of course require some fireside TLC during a harsh winter!

As said by someone earlier, they also eat capercaillie and are being released very close to where some of the last surviving UK capercaillie are.

The stupidity of it is staggering.

Some swaggering, gold chain wearing assh*le who had them as vanity pets, then got bored, drove up the a9 and dumped them next to the Zoo.

Zero chance this had anything to do with the re-wilders.

You said? Said chain wearing chav had 4?

Seriously - if it was rewilders, they wouldn’t have done it right next to the a9.

Whoever did this was making no attempt to be clandestine. They were deliberately abandoning them next to a facility with the kit and expertise to deal with them, in a patch of one of the most heavily monitored woodlands in Scotland.

You could pick literally ANY other woodland and be less noticeable.

i am genuinely astounded by the ammount of people on social media who think they would survive for long left to fend for themselves. its beyond crazy to expect a domesticated animal which has probably been in captivity for its whole life to have the ability to survive for any length of time. i hope those responsible are found and charged accordingly.

In Sweden we use to do a protective hunt within the law and local government regulation. I were participating in one hunt but the Lynx were already out f the area. (it had taken sheeps)

yeah, i hear you but im not sure. i get there will be loads to scavange from small villages etc but the 'expert' from rzss said the animals were used to warmth/heat. they are essentially tame.
