Should we reintroduce wolves to the UK?

Just wondering what you thought.

Here are some people who like the idea: http://www.wolftrust.org.uk/whyreintroduce.html

and here's someone who's not keen: http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/wolf.help/the%20wolf%20in%20scotland.htm

I'd like to see wolves reintroduced along with all the other animals mentioned by people in this post, it's a shame they died out in this country. Having said that, I can't help thinking that concentrating on making sure that other animals that are declining in numbers, such as hedgehogs, field mice and voles don't die out first would be a better plan.

(Shuffles feet in embarrassment at mention of voles and doesn't look at Kjetil...)

Mumble mumble watervoles and Magnus, mumble mumble

BTW- as for killing boar with pointy sticks- the other half's Opa and a few other foresters once killed one with their axes. This was doubly dangerous as if they had been caught they would almost certainly have been shot for doing it. (Late on in WW2 in Germany)

He took his part home- and his daughters couldn't eat it. Literally couldn't, even though they were starving. He was livid.
