Title: You're not the ONLY one with Mooses, Diane!
Post by: The Peepmaster on April 15, 2008, 10:23:06 AM: Och no, hoots, mon. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7346733.stm)

Post by: Malc on April 15, 2008, 04:40:04 PM: But it's possible to hike and trek all over the highlands without the prospect of being chased by wolves or eaten by bears. What happens to hiking and camping if large predators are re-introduced?

Canada is the size of a continent, but Scotland is only a wee toty country. Populate some silly arse's estate with predators and they will spill over and eat campers in the neighbouring areas.

Like Independence, it's a nice idea, but no.

James the I and VI was a historical fact and so was the demise of the wolves and bears. Let it be.

Are you saying that someone might want to steal an animal and make money by selling it to a rival company?

Post by: Mince on April 15, 2008, 05:17:07 PM: Well, the chaos interpretation was rubbish. Not every system is chaotic, and not every chaotic system is able to produce all possible outcomes.

The only thing I learned from Jurassic park is don't allow any one person to hog the programming.

How about 'the b*ggers might escape' interpretation?

Post by: Roger Kettle on April 15, 2008, 06:26:33 PM: When they reintroduced wolves in Yellowstone Park, they neglected to tell the little doggies to "STAY!". The wolves are now roaming round Wyoming and Montana, dining on ranchers' cattle.

They're playing West Brom tonight, Roger. The big local derby. It's on 5-Live if you're fascinated...

I agree, Tarquin. Mince forgot his question mark. ::)

Post by: peter on April 15, 2008, 07:12:44 PM: As we were the people who extinguished them from this country through vanity we should be the ones to put it right.
The wolf was top predator and when they were killed the top predator was the fox.
So if we reintroduced it they would get the fox population down and we could stop fox hunting in its tracks

The wolf ...

Ah! I thought you meant question marks. Sorry.

Wolves v West Brom is 0-0 at half-time, by the way. (For Diane's benefit).

You said that I "forgot" to use a question mark, and I said that I didn't.

Oh, yes...stupid!

I don't think anyone's particularly interested in that, Peter. We're talking about Mince's double-standards now.
