Same goes for Otters, seen as cute by all, but top predator in its food chain. Kills fish much lager than its self, but doesn't eat the whole fish

Released from Otter sanctuaries in this area without permission in an area where the their river eco systems have been ravaged by over abstraction of water, polloution which turns male fish into female, predation by cormorants and general lack of water management by the Enviroment Agency.

They wanted to reintroduce Sea Eagles in this area, but the farmers complained they'ed take their livestock

Same goes for Eagle owls. Once native to the UK, they'ed have trouble with cat owners if they tried to re-introduce them, as Tibbles would also be on the menu

I must admit I'm not a fan of this re-introducing malarky. It's our fault these species are no longer here in the UK and then just as the ecosystems adjust to not having the top predators about we're deciding to have them back?

I'm fully in agreement with you MYC, the Otter is a prime example of ametuers releasing an animal without a proper study to see what the effect would be.

At least with the Sea Eagle there was going to be a study to the envioromental impact
