Yeah, I shouldn't generalize. We have too many deer in parts of the UK too. I have no problem with people shooting and eating them, I love venison myself. But (officially) we have no (terrestrial non-hominid) predator larger than a fox or badger here. As a long-term solution I vote for re-introducing wolves, brown bears and lynx to the highlands.
The white-tailed sea eagle was re-introduced as we all know. I spent a lot of money in Mull last year that I wouldn't have done so otherwise and I'd certainly pay well to have the chance to see apex predators wild in the Highlands. I suspect the prices the locals charge could be adjusted to outweigh the odd sheep that might go missing...
And don't get me started on Caribou Barbie shooting wolves from a helicopter. That would be political suicide absolutely anywhere in Europe. |
