Thought I read somewhere that the wolf was reintroduced in Scotland?
Not yet

It's very unlikely wild wolves will ever be wandering free over the Scotish hills.

Not yet.........the reintroduction of wolves into Scotland does pop up from time to time, but in fact the original plan was formulated by a land owner who wanted to have Timber wolves roaming his estate but they would have been in large enclosures, along with bison & other N. American fauna.

Maybe one will swim across from the Netherlands
This is indeed very interesting news. All the previous posts are quite cogent, for and against wolves in Europe. In all your opinions, how does 'Rewilding' fit into your viewpoint? Here in N. America there is gobs of land that can be put aside for rewilding, maybe not so much in Europe in general and the UK in particular. When I mention rewilding, I'm not talking about what some groups here want, rewilding all the way back to the Paleolithic. I'm more in line with lets say, back to the bronze age flora and fauna as a base for rewilding. I mean look at the uproar of reintroduction of the wolf in Europe, how do you think people would react to Aurochs and Wooly Mammoth strolling down the M5 or uprooting your garden in the North Hants somewhere?
Again, random ponderings.
