I AM sure that the Lynx Trust is full of high minded and well-intentioned conservationists, but have they taken account of some of the unwelcome introductions to this country... the green parakeet, the muntjac, the grey squirrel, the North American shrimp, Japanese knotweed and rosebay willowherb.
So before this venture goes any further I suggest that a referendum be held by an independent body of all those who live within 20 miles of the release point, including Scotland to find out the degree of local support (if any).
