Should wolves be reintroduced into the UK on 19:06 - Jul 22 with 4086 views | exiledclaseboy | Although having now read it, he must be having a lucid week because it makes a lot of sense. And nowhere does he say we should reintroduce wolves and/or bears back into the UK. Gross misrepresentation by the OP again.

Deer reproduce like mad and have no natural predators, so their numbers spiral out of control and they eat everything in sight. That's why they're culled every now and then. Having said that, I don't think anything should be re-introduced and we should concentrate more on not making the same mistake with our existing wildlife. | ![](/images/avatars/8706.gif) |

It would save contracting people to cull them every year. The primary reason wolves were reintroduced in probably the most well known case of wolf reintroduction, in Yellowstone national park, was to try and control the crisis regarding deer or whatever their specific breed was called over consuming on the flora in the park. They were literally turning the park into a wasteland. The same would be happening in many forests here in the U.K. The difference is we shoot the deer in the head with guns to control their population instead of letting their once natural predator do this. I think many people think that the wolves would attack people, eat your babies and whatever else they have seen in films, probably such as Ice Age (the children's film). I could write an essay on this. I did last year. It's really interesting. | ![](/images/avatars/10660.gif) |

Should wolves be reintroduced into the UK on 21:01 - Jul 22 with 3882 views | exiledclaseboy | On balance, I'd prefer culling deer with a single gunshot to the head than introducing wolves to do it. Although this is the first I've hear of the Great Deer Crisis engulfing out woodlands. So still no sensible reason for reintroducing wolves to the UK. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |

It happens annually. It happens as locally as Margam Park. Here are the figures regarding number of species culled annually since 2005, I used it in my report last year. The information was provided by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. | ![](/images/avatars/10660.gif) |

I'm not disputing it, my young friend, just saying I'd not heard about it. You appear to be advocating introducing a pack of wolves into, for example, Margam Park purely to keep the deer population down. I'm going to leave the forum consider that and come to its own conclusion. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |

In my first post in this thread, my first word even, I said no. It would be a bad idea all round. I was just pointing out that it has been done successfully in other highly populated and developed countries and could work here too if done a certain way. I can't see it happening in my lifetime. | ![](/images/avatars/10660.gif) |
