mercurydancer 1,104 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Bring it on. Although I am vegetarian (I just dont like meat, rather than anything ideological) I am a good shot and wild boar is good hunting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tompa 285 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes lets kill them all off, like we did the Brown Bear, Wolf, Moose, Lynx. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 This is getting "Boaring" ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tompa 285 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes, It's a pig of a subject !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 They are thinking of re introducing lynx back into Britain, if they can bring back the bear as well as the wolf it should keep the anti fox hunting brigade happy as they are fox predators so would be no need to hunt old Charlie down!!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 That reminds me. Must get some cuff lynx. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes & this would stop the "Toffs" trying to get the hunting ban overturned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Only who would control the larger predators? Just swapping the problem for a bigger one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I thought it was April 1st when I read the article. What a load of scaremongering !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tompa 285 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The wolf is the natural predator of the Moose and other large prey such as Red Deer, Fallow Deer. it's more or less self regulating, if there is less food around and they are in poor condition they tend not to breed so successfully, and if they do and the population becomes too large, then you can be certain that some sort of decease breaks out and kills a lot of them off, hence the need for regulated culling. ex: the spread of Myxomatosis in rabbits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 We should let Mother Nature take its course. Who gives us the divine right to interfere with the evolutionary process. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think we should continue to tell the Africans to protect their predators but we should continue to kill off all of ours - like they do for sport and fun in UK rural areas. Daft as that may sound, it is what happens here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 #14 Only problem with that FLY, is that evolution weeds out the weaker species. Think in the future when the average human is a fat, lazy, brain-dead scrote and there were more mean thirty-stone boars than humans. Dinosaurs springs to mind, just musing though. I agree, scaremongering though. Anything for a story. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,290 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have been quoted 1800 euros to rectify the damage done by a heard of 50 wild boar in March. I have spent almost 2 weeks doing the work myself with the help of my son. Still plenty to do. You need to see the damage to believe it. Lovely lawns and 2 golf greens completely wrecked.

tony1 118 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think someone is getting confused between natural selection and evolution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
