Letter: Lynx rewilding: If others can do it, so can the UK (2)

Published 19 February 2025

From Sam Edge, Ringwood, Hampshire, UK

I was struck by the irony of one of the obstacles to reintroducing lynx being the game bird shooting industry’s worries about them eating its stock. These are people who have no qualms about making money by pandering to entitled people whose idea of fun is blowing away animals deliberately bred to be too slow and stupid to require much skill do to so. The sooner that “industry” goes the way of badger baiting, cockfighting and fox hunting, the better.
