Dangerous Animals in GB?

We had a huge escaped bull in the back garden when I was little and my mum made us stay in the house until it had gone. It left hoof marks about 10" deep all over the lawn so my mum was a bit miffed. It crashed through the conifers and plastic mesh fence eventually and into next doors veggie patch which it cleaned out in about 2 minutes.

Don`t shoot that Pretty Deer, moose, mountain goat, elk,grouse , bunny, anything that tastes good. there is plenty of room for all the forest creature`s, right next to the Mashed Potato`s and gravy!
Bogman10 I do like that line a lot really made me laugh. I'm going to use that next time I get into a discussion with a bunny hugger. Excellent line
No one has mentioned the weever fish yet. There is a greater and lesser weever. Greater is usually found in deeper water. It has poisonous spines on the gill covers and dorsal fin. It could possibly kill you if you were frail or had a heart condition but is very unlikely. It is though by all accounts extremely painful if you get jabbed by one. I've never been had by one but I've caught loads of them. A friend of mine trod on one while swimming in Norfolk and he said it was absolute agony. The best treatment is to bathe the stung foot or hand etc in water as hot as you can stand it, as it will nullify the proteins (poison) as the heat destroys these proteins.
Weevers bury themselves in sand so it's always sensible to wear sandals or old plimsoles etc when paddling in the sea. (especially the kids as if they stand on one you are going to know about it, along with the rest of the beach) This is how my mate got stung (when he was paddling) If you catch one while fishing, place your foot gently but firmly (if that makes sense) on it's head (with shoes on of course) leaving just it's mouth protruding. Remove the hook and flick it back into the sea with your foot. That's how I do it anyway. Don't think a cloth will give you protection the spines are very sharp and could go straight through a cloth
and here , I'd thought we'd covered up the werewolf thing.

Also watch the Western/horror movie "Ravenous" it's about a Fort in the Rockies. Really great flick, IMO.

I once had a young bull run towards (head down snorting) a group of pupils that were on a 2 day expedition. One of our really hard lads said "What will you do if it doesn't stop sir?"
I responded "Trip you up and run like hell for that stile!"
He looked at me and said "NO, really?" - I just smiled!
Luckily it responded to me clapping my hand against my map case and shouting at it, otherwise I would have had a lot of paper work to fill in for that young man!

That sounds like something I would say to my scouts.
I like the respones I get when tell them not injure themselves becuase I would have a lot of paperwork to fill in.
Oh and if you do come across a bear.. here is how you deal with it...

British Columbia"s Lake Okanogan Has "Oggo-Poggo" , Cousin twice removed , of Nessy.
Sounds like its escaped from the night garden and may be related to Macca pacca
I've watched the Black Adder tv show, so I'm not scared of them, more amused.
One more we both could add. Northern Pike! We some times call these fish " slough sharks" sharks = scary.
However, much to the chagrin of my wife of Ukrainian descent , We sometimes call then
UKRAINIAN MERMAIDS !!!

Her= :AR15firin at me.
