If they're careful about it and make sure they stay within certain boundaries then sure, but I doubt that would happen, so no.

I disagree with shpee, it would be good for the lynxes and as long as they are kept to their boundaries then I am fine with them being released, and it is likely that they(hopefully) will

yes but in the right way - not endangering people or animals

I think the Lynx are not the actual problem, I think the problem is managing to contain them so that they don't do any harm.

me too

Lynx are very unlikely to hurt people and they are endangered animals of course we should save them!!!!!!!!

I think it is ok but they must stay within boundaries other wise their will obviously be trouble as a don't want one coming into my garden at all!!!!

I say yes, because even if they do hurt animals, the animals they hurt damage nature, too. So really that's all fair.

The only part I find unfair is how humans have chosen to leave nature and live in a world of technology, but still take advantage of the nature around them. That's NOT fair. ?

Wild animals do not live within boundaries and will kill and eat other animals. So no

Well, yeah because they are animals, not pets in a cage! Just be careful farmers, you can just put up strong fences!

I agree with schwab1

Personally, I do not think that they should be released into the UK because they look very dangerous and they could do anything bad or hurt people/animals. I said No in the poll because I am afraid about the damage that could be done to anything that lives.

I think that yes, but only if they have certain boundaries, and make sure they aren't hurting anyone, or scaring them. It is unfair to the animals to always be locked up, but it is also unfair to the people to be endangered by wild animals out of control.?

P.S I agree with harryrocks and schwab1!?( sorry shpee☹️?)

i realy don't know

only if they are far away from us humans

But i agree with shpee

Yes, because imagine if you couldn't go in a country.

Me and my sister think yes as long as they are monitored - we don't want them to run wild near cities as they could get run over!

Yes because it is a good thing that the are trying to rehabilitate extinct animals

I also disagree with shape, these lynx want a normal life just like us! They're living creatures, so why not let them into the open world. Zoos will probably tame them until the lynx are safe to go into the certain places they should be in-so what's the problem?

I would be happy as long as they are in controlled

I say yes as this was the lynxes original home, imagine if you where all taken away from your home by either getting hunted or gettig shipped to another country

they could be killed or kidnapped by poachers so no

Yes. However they should be kept away from livestock and in certain boundaries. They should also be kept away from poachers. Also only people like vets should go near them when needed, groundsmen/ women shouldn't go too near.

Although I love animals, I don't want anyone to get hurt.

I think they should release the Lynx because its their home aswell so its unfair if we take it away from them ,its a bit like stealing someone's home.

I think they should release the Lynx because its their home aswell so its unfair if we take it away from them .

I dont think they would stay away from you and they could easily hurt someone as they are wild animals.

i agree with schwab1 because nobody should be scared or in danger because lynx's are just big cats and also animals shouldn't be endangered either so i think if lynx's are released they should be in no reach of humans :):):):):):)

Yes, Lynx could be introduced to this country as long as they were kept in certain boundaries, so not to hurt other animals!

YES but only if they are properly watched over so no one dies or gets hurt.

Yes lynx are beautiful creatures and as long as we dont hurt them they won't hurt us.

I agree with shpee

NO! The UK is not their natural habitat and more than that, they could take over and end up at the top of the food chain.

let them go, let them go, cant hold them back anymore
let them go, let them go,lets open up the door

In my own opinion I am not sure but we need to be really careful with them and keep them away from children just like foxes. I don't think that we should kick them out and they have a life like us so let them be free!

NO, I don't think they should be let back into the UK because if they were extinct a while ago then they were extinct for a reason. They might just go again and many of them would have lost lives because of being released back into the UK. The UK isn't there natural habitat so it may not work for them.

Surely they would be better in their natural habitat? Surely part of the reason they are so angry,frisky and wild was cos they were angry and upset that they were locked up and kept in confined spaces,or their family or friends were locked up? I think it's unfair that they got such a bad reputation just because of human cruelty. It is unfair for the animals, so they should be released in the wild, just under a little bit of control and protection. I know you're saying it is risky for the humans and the animals, but it should be fine as long as they have boundaries and are watched over carefully. I totally agree with banjoblaze!??

and happy4456

I don't think that this should happen. What about pets?

They are dangerous so I voted no.

well with the right amount of cages and boundaries then yes

I Think The Lynxes Should Be Released Because All Living Things Deserve Their Freedom

It'd be great but as long as we keep them in control it'd be even better...
We could have, like, special areas (like, if they carry on breeding and their population spreads over many forests, you could have 'The Lynx Forest' or something) for them to stay, but the problem rises that if we have fences then they could climb/jump over...
It needs consideration.

lynx will eat other animals and wont stay within boundaries. they are wild animals. so no .

I think it would be lovely to bring lynxes back to the UK. They might also be pretty useful.

they are cute man

it might cause problems

It may hurt and kill.... So no!

Lynx should be released back into the UK, because that will boost their numbers, and there are lots of endangered species in the world at the moment, so the less endangered species there are, the better. Farmers are worried about their livestock and children, but a lynx wouldn't be aggressive towards a child unless it felt like it was being threatened and if lynx kill their livestock, then it's just the circle of life - the lynx need something to eat.

I agree with Banjoblaze, it's really unfair.

I don't really understand why though. I mean, the Eurasian Lynx is classified as 'least concern', so they aren't going extinct. So I don't know.

Lynx are amazing animals and they deserve to make their habitat here in the UK.

Yes because the place where they are being released into is large and a great habitat for them. However, they should keep the lynxes securely contained and away from people and towns.

I say yes because they're cool and can jump SUPER HIGH!!!

If the lynx has not survived in the uk in the past it definetly won't be able to survive in the future

they should be and are wild animals so why wouldn't you?

If someone went for a walk and a lynx attacked them from out of the forest then it would be the Lynx UK's fault. I'd say no but if the lynx could only go to a certain boundary then I would say yes.

As long as they are in a monitored, controlled secure area then I don't see why we shouldn't do our bit.

totally!

Of course lynx should be reintroduced, this is their natural habitat. But things are changing and in times like these, with so much going on in the UK already, I think perhaps people aren't ready to have wild animals roaming around.

i agree with seal12345

Farmers have farm/guard dogs that would scare away lynx and keep the farm and people safe.
Lynx are really shy animals, the only reason they would ever come out and attack is to defend their babies. I mean if you were a parent and some loud scary other species came along and started scaring and trying to harm your kids, you would obviously and naturally do something about it! We allow foxes to roam free in the forests and they come into cities to look for food, but lynx are so shy they would just stay in the forest, keep the food chain going and stay away from us! People are so scared just because they are a bit big and they eat meat, but so do we! They are SO SHY and if we keep putting it off making excuses they will never end up here with a home and will just become EXTINCT! And we will be to blame! We will be responsible for the extinction of totally peaceful animals who would never harm us unless we tried to harm them.

In a fenced off area, YES!

lynx kill...... the KILL!!!!! NO LNX
xx #hiya00

I love lynx and would love them back but they are wild animals and they can be dangerous we need to respect that

Yes and no because they need to be free in the world , but they might damage property or even people with their ways?

They should but only native ones and put them in massive reserves.

I think that the lynx should be released back into the uk because it was their home once but historical people killed them all.

If they are dangerous , no.

That would be soooooooo cool. I would love to live near a wild lynx settlement (I live in the countryside near lots of forests)

I don't get why they should go to the UK. I find it extremely stupid. They'll just eat us! Why do you think we got rid of them in the first place?

?

I would say yes. This is mainly because, according to many authorities on this matter, the lynx would benifit our eco system by hunting deer which are stopping the undergrowth from being able to thrive (this means various threatened species are becoming more and more vulnerable.) Farmers are complaining about their sheep potentially being threatened by the introduction of the lynx to the UK, they will probably be no more dangerous as a fox to a chicken. Many are fretting about what it will mean for humans. Contrary to this belief, they are timid animals and significantly smaller than common belief. No recorded injury has been made by a lynx in the last hundred years, and they have never fatally wounded a human being. They have only been extinct for 1,300 years, which on an evolutionary scale is nothing. Th

yes because they cud die

England has lost many species in the past, such as wolves and bears. Re-introducing lynxes will be a step forward to regaining many of England's long-lost species. Plus, lynxes are AWESOME!

XD X) XD X)

I vote yes because their so rare just keep their lifestock safe

Yeah sounds epic! #ilovelynx!!!

Yes because we have no really big predators in the UK to keep the deer population in balance. If we introduce lynx the food chain will be under control

Yes because we have no really big predators in the UK to keep the deer population in balance. If we introduce lynx the food chain will be under control

And I also think it’s better to let deer be killed naturally than with a cull

Also lynx are very shy and you are very unlikely to encounter one so I say yes

Yes I do personally I think they would be no harm to anyone if we were all careful . First to comment!!!!
