DRAMATIC photographs of a sea eagle carrying away a lamb in its talons provoked lively debate about wildlife, conservation and farming. David McLoughlin posted: ‘Probably not happy but we Can’t stop nature we have to live with it. We ran this bird to extinction in this country we should be proud they are now coming back.’
Lucy Nicholson explained: ‘I am not lucy nicholson I am her husband and a farmer and know sea eagles take lambs but conservationists are talking of reintroducing lynx more lambs decimated but am sure it will bring in the holidaymakers.
Alex Eaton slammed: ‘I hate when conservationists think to solve one problem you introduce another species like the lynx into the food chain and hope it only does what you want it to do, how many times has reintroducing animals back into the wild actually worked without affecting unintentionally other species and landscape around it? Just think of the extra cost to farmers to protect their livestock from lynx as well.’
