Sorry, I think its a really bad idea............Ok the highlands our Britains biggest area of wilderness, but look how many people use it, how many sheep and cattle would be lost before the farmers start shooting the wolves to protect their interest. How long would it be before a hiker would get in the wrong place at the wrong time and get mauled. Would the wolves stay in the highlands ?, esp once they start getting shot at (which they will be). Would parents feel safe letting their children out, I think not. How many pets would be lost to them. Britain has changed a lot since the wolves were last here and it is now (maybe unfortunately) not a place where they can live in peace.
Why were the male wolves in that compound not castrated instead of being put down ? Would that not of sorted the problem ?....................Jon
