yeah why not, we've had BREXIT and Boris and who knows what else, we're on a roll to become the laughingstock globally, so sure, let's bring wolves back to a place with diminishing wilderness and no need for apex predators. makes perfect sense
Got my 35 Whelen variation in nice and early.

That’s the way of the world these days chap.
Hysterical minorities undermining what the majority want.

No good unless you have the most coveted lead-free bullets.
Pure silver, because copper is just soooo last season!

Horses with horns you say……. They could be a bit stabby if they get into built up areas….. what do you reckon a variation or AOLQ
The next thing will be repopulating the Jurassic coast
A few years before the "introduction" of the wolf into Montana, I watched a pair of adult wolves cross a field near Wyola, MT. When I mentioned it to a sheep herder she said, "Only the State wildlife biologists think the wolf it extinct."
Two years later the wolf was "introduced" to Yellowstone National Park. They have devastated the elk herds and have moved on and outward from the Park killing cattle. Unlike most predators, they don't stop killing once they make a kill. They keep killing, hence the term "pack mentality". And they roam far and wide. A Yellowstone-tagged adult male was shot and killed in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. That's about 400 miles from Yellowstone -an area that the biologists and Berkenstockers swore they would never leave.
I worked for a rancher riding my motorcycle around his herd of Angus beef cattle while calving. I was told to shoot anything with paws, and that included wolf. And I'm a lot farther away from Yellowstone than Pine Ridge.
Don't allow it. ~Muir

I do wish these folk would just go away..... No doubt a very intelligent person doing a bit of work for a PhD - or rather getting other people to fill in a substantial amount of the wording for him/her. All so they can go away and prat on about re-wilding (sic) to other equally bright young things!
After all that, the people who try to raise livestock will just have to bow to the never ending drivel of the educated re-wilders, as the latter seem to get the ear of our authorities in NatureScot, Natural England et al.
Paul Lister wanted to release Wolves years ago into a fenced park in the Highlands, but was told to go away and spend his hard earned inheritance on something else instead. The Lynx loonies keep having yet another "consultation" exercise to try and browbeat anyone and everyone into thinking it'll solve all of our deer "problems" (and usually earn £Xm in tourism benefits into the bargain...).
Not one of these pro apex predator groups has any skin in the game re: food production or actually having to make a living in the areas where these great plans would take place, which takes me back to my first comment......why don't they bu*ger off and try and do something useful.

Brilliant film
AFAIK there are almost no recorded cases of wolves ever killing humans in the UK. However, I'd be toting the .270 on my foxing forays rather than the .204 if there was a likely hood of bumping into a wooluf on the farm 
Not saying the '04 wouldn't do the necessary if required, I'd just like to be damned sure of the job and nothing has ever yet 'answered back' to my .270
The only thing that is more likely to raise the hairs on the back of your neck than a wolf howl is to hear lions roaring in the not-too-distant distance.

I guess, seeing as they have been more or less obliterated on these isles since the dark ages with just a couple of stragglers finished off in the 1800’s, the recording of cases isn’t going to be great. A bit like ‘no recorded cases of salt water croc attacks on British waterways’ - wouldn’t make me feel any better about a moonlit dip in the Dee if they rewilded the uk with them suckers.
