OT The bears are awake

There is some suggestion about reintroducing wolves here on the grounds that we had them in the 17th century. I am not in favour. They died out for a reason. We have reintroduced beavers because "we had them once" and although mainly that's going well, some farmers are already fed up with them damming their streams and felling their trees. We can't go back to the past. When there was loads of room here for wolves and beavers. There isn't now. There are some wolves in Germany, but that country is huge compared to Britain; you wouldn't even notice them there. |

The same applies to bears and lynx. Actually, that isn't the only reason. The other reason is that their habitat has been destroyed, bit by bit. -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

UK is a small place and there is not room any more for bears, wolves and lynx here. Where do you think we could have bears?? |
