Wolves Should Be Reintrouduced To Scotland.
Many years ago, Wolves were native to Scotland, until they were hunted back! Do you think that they should be reintrouced? MAny of you are actually amercian, so think of it as if you live in Scotland... :P

Of course! If the wolves are endangering livestock, get livestock guarddogs.

Yes, but only after native species that remain, such as the Scottish wildcat, are in larger numbers. Remember, when wolves were around there were a lot more of these.

Yeah we should reintroduce wolves. I think we should should also reintroduce wild haggis to the Scottish highlands. It is appalling that the Scottish national dish is exclusively farmed in the Midlands and exported back to them. Most Scots don't even realise that the sporran and bagpipe-making industry are situated in Birmingham

Wolves should definately be reintroduced to scottland as they will be able to breed better and have more habitats to live in.

Scotland doesn't have wolves? That's weird.

I'm a city dweller, have been all my life. But I like the image of the lone wolf roaming the highlands, cutting it's proud and lonely path through the harsh conditions.

How many of you love to be randomly walking along a spot a little red squirrel? Or spot a mighty wildcat, or even maybe a capercallie? Wouldn’t you love to be able to see more Scottish native animals? And, how many of you hate ticks? A lot I bet. If there was a way to get less ticks and more cute animals, would you take it? Well there is one! You see, if we brought wolves back into Scotland, the great thing is that they would cut down the deer numbers for us. Now, if we had fewer deer, we would have more trees, because the deer would not be eating the shoots. If we had more trees, we would have more red squirrels, wildcats, capercallies and all the other Scottish animals nearing extinction. Then the deer would be in the trees, and wouldn’t pick up ticks, and all the ticks would die out, and we wouldn’t have any more annoying little creatures on us and our pets!
You see, wolves would solve a lot of problems. More trees = more native animals and a nicer fresher environment. The biggest worries are the Credit crunch, that would get solved (sort of) from tourists money seeing the wolves and the trees and native animals and land. Endangered animals, well, the wildcats (which only have 400 left in the wild, and only 40% of them pure) and other endangered Scottish animals will come back, and Global Warming, and we need trees to clear up the air, so that would be solved. Scotland would be a beautiful landscape, and honestly, wolves are quite shy, they wouldn’t come near a human unless we torment them or threaten them. They wouldn’t kill us to eat us, because we probably don’t taste nice. We never eat meat-eaters do we? I’m pretty sure there’s a reason. There wouldn’t be a problem with the land accepting the wolves, since they were native, and only died out because of us.
I never knew that we needed wolves this much, but the evidence is over-whelming. We DEPEND on wolves.

I live in northern Minnesota (USA) here there were no wolves (timber wolves) due to trapping and hunting then the state decided to reintroduce them for what reason I really could not tell you but the state and federal gov. Spent millions to bring them back. Now they have reached a point where they are killing livestock so then the gov. Pays the producer for each kill plus they employ a federal trapper to catch them. The farm to the south of me one mile had problems so they trapped and killed 9 wolves there, sounds like gov. Has it figured out spend millions to bring them back then spend more to get rid of them. I farm also and am out in the feilds and pasture a lot and if I am lucky i might see one a year. Take my word for it you are better off without them wolves serve no purpose.
