Just a heads up! I’m sure many of us will be aware and be looking forward to Sir David Attenborough presenting his latest series. What a national treasure, what an ambassador for wildlife, environmental issues and rewilding. Date for the diary:- 12th March, 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.👍

Posted on 25/04/2023 18:04 by mickysfWhen the ceremonial fox hunting and game shooting fraternity saw it as a serious threat to their desires and traditions is when the condemnation and ridicule set in fish and they did a good job of swaying opinion against what was a noble ambition- that being rewilding from the bottom up. it was a deliberate ploy. Thankfully many sensible and informed folk saw through the fake accusations and prophecy of doom these anti rewilders pedalled.
Just for the record I’m not against fox population, after-all we’ve messed the balance up but it has to be done in an humane way and without the pomp and circumstance of old. Even the RSPB recognise this need but their efforts associated with the culling of any uncontrolled populations of creature is again used as tool to criticise and suggest hypocrisy. They have removed rats, foxes, mustelids etc from several areas where humans have introduced them and this has helped saved some endangered species across the world. Unfortunate but much needed! We cause such problems!
