Question for Scratchline

[Hebegebe]

You stated that there is loads of information available showing that Eurasian Lynx do not predate foxes.

I searched and got the links (no pun) below that they do.

Could you provide your counter information?

Interesting that half of the radio tracked foxes that doied were killed by lynx.

Given your argument that lynx don't kill foxes how do you explain this?

 

[Hebegebe]

"Our results point out the possibility that red fox populations can be significantly limited by allowing lynx populations to recover."

If we reintoduced lynx here your lot would have a field day.
imagine what you would blame them for and the fun you would have killing them.
Strange how so many other countires in Europe can reintroduce them, but here not a chance.

 

[Bunce]

It is established fact that foxes have never had predators. They are themselves a predator.

What 'lot'?

I don't have a 'lot'.
