Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the proposal...? Frankly, I'm all for it. I think it would add a marvellous element to the natural fauna in this country.
It seems though that the vested interests that are NFU Scotland are ready to shoot it down. Can't we get an enlightened Scottish Government policy which could support such a move? Even on a fixed term trial basis?
We already have what is regarded as the most liberal and enlightened land access legislation anywhere in the world. Let's build on that, and try something ground-breaking and truly innovative.
I'd love to go walking knowing there's real wild Lynx out there somewhere. Should farmers and landowners be allowed to stand in the way of this proposal?
