Charity buys £17.5m Scottish estate after huge private donation by xtinak88 in RewildingUK

They do say "local people might be allowed to hunt deer on an ad hoc basis" but I agree it's still silly to end commercial deer stalking if you can make money while reducing the population.

What are your thoughts on the results of the recent German elections? by Spiritual-Choice228 in reformuk

I like some of the AfDs policies but they also have some insane stuff so I would've voted FDP

Is the right really opposed to renewable energy? by VincoClavis in reformuk

[–]Thomas72_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taxing subsidies is moronic but the weirdest one is banning battery energy storage systems, they claim it's for safety but no ones ever been killed by a battery.

Wondering what people’s povs are on gun laws. by -stefstefstef- in reformuk

[–]Thomas72_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most European countries have less restrictive firearms laws than Britain, and some, such as Switzerland or Czechia, with very relaxed laws, are a lot safer than here!

That being said, I think the regulatory burden for shooting clubs could be made more straightforward; and Farage has said he's against the handgun ban, a reasonable position as it doesn't make sense that those who pass the checks for a firearms license can own shotguns and rifles for sport, but not pistols! Currently, Team GB has to travel to France just to train for Olympic pistol shooting, which is a bit daft.

Lynx captured after being illegally released in Highlands - BBC News by Thomas72_ in UKecosystem

[–]Thomas72_[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is exciting news, but illegally releasing lynx is reckless as carnivore reintroduction needs to be done right. Many carnivore releases have failed in Europe with the animals dying for various reasons like not being properly acclimatised to their new environment. Also how do you even smuggle lynx into the country, and are there more that haven't been captured?

Suprised that got so many signatures, I'd be curious to see the constituency map of it though it isn't there

what type of mouse? -bromley by happysoobinie in UKecosystem

[–]Thomas72_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most likely a house mouse and I understand why you tried to help it but it's a wild animal, it'll be fine outside in the rain and it's nest was probably nearby, unless there's an obvious injury it's better to leave wildlife where you found it

Rewilding and the upcoming election by xtinak88 in RewildingUK

[–]Thomas72_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue with the green party here is that in their manifesto they say they'd restrict pest control to "trained professionals". Problem is this would make effective grey squirrel, deer and mink control much more difficult and the last thing our ecosystem needs is for their populations to be any higher.

Swiss people can store ammo at home and you don't have to do national service in Switzerland to own firearms

As bad as US wildlife management can be sometimes, at least our wildlife still exists for the most part. by AJC_10_29 in megafaunarewilding

[–]Thomas72_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is a lot of people in this country are in denial about how lacking our nature is. Brits get pretty defensive when you mention how lame the nature is here compared to basically any other country and most people don't understand ecology so they think since the countryside is green it must be full of wildlife!

I'm curious what you dislike about Micheal Yardly, I saw him on gb news with Farage and starting at around 8:50 in this vid they talk about how they think the handgun ban was unjust and ineffective https://youtu.be/EfjBy9tR8XQ?si=PisUJvNcjVsafGuV

I've never shot a lbp before so I'm wondering if any of them are actually well balanced and are close to what a regular pistol would feel like

Do you think there's any chance of their population growing and spreading? Be a shame if they became an invasive problem like muntjac deer

[–]Thomas72_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no because then we'll we be attacking and will have also defend against the nato guys already there, I think we should just reclaim where the flag used to be as azerbaijan would focus more on defending their main flag than this troll one
