The Real Monarch Of The Glen

[John Doe]

I would like to find out other peoples opinions about the programme on BBC2 tonight and other peoples opinions about what Paul Lister is doing (personally I think it's tremendous!). Also if anyone knows how to get in touch with Paul directly?

Has it been on, I watched the end of the first episode last week (Scotland). I think it is a good experiment but don't think he has enough land to sustain the species he is introducing.

Oh! welcome to WAB.

i echo your sentiments,ron ,he just doesn't have enough land .all i think he's doing is creating a micro environment ,but it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Be even more interesting if the animal lovers set them all free

I love his attitude and what he's trying to achieve, but, (an it's a big but!) where is he going with the whole Rhino thing etc.??? Boars, beavers even moose I can understand. but why the denizens of the African plains???????????????:confused :

Is that, by any chance, a call to arms (as it were)? Perchance we should spread all species across all borders??? It's worth discussion!

[John Doe]

Are you, by any chance, advocating a 'liberation' policy?? Shame on you!! Worth discussion though!!

[John Doe]

I seem to be repeating myself!

If he is introducing Rhino's then I can only imagine that it's for publicity, surely nobody would be crazy enough to bring that into the Scottish highlands. I can see the wildlife escaping now because I don't think the fence would take a Rhino charge.

He don't care about the animals it is all about money and money is not a good reason to take all these animals back into Scotland or indeed the UK. He doesn't listen or care what the local people think either, he doesn't even employ many of them (I can count them on one hand). It gets up my nose all these people with money that turn the Highlands into their playgrounds. Anyone who supports this should think how safe would they feel living within 5 miles of him and the predators he wants to introduce here into a natural wild environment. I was brought up walking the hills and it is good to feel safe, those days feel numbered if this man has his way. Thankfully he currently doesn't have enough land to do all he wants but I am sure he will have a good try.
