My concern is different. We have seen the ecological carnage caused by the ALF releasing fur trade Mink willy-nilly into the wild. We have almost lost several native species as a result. The re-introduction of Wolves and bears would not be without similar issues. Beavers hate running water and will dam streams or small rivers in an attempt to stop it. This causes localised flooding and marshes. Given th rising average temperature in the UK do we want the midge and mosquito expansion that would follow?

I think not
