Guilt isn't just for the pale and male - now it is for all of us
Say hello to Roy Dennis, director of the Highland Foundation for Wildlife, as quoted in The Scotsman, because 'a beast approaches, patient and confident, savouring the meal to come'
"The professional ornithologist and wildlife consultant told The Scotsman: "I don't think everything we do should be for the benefit of humans. We have a moral responsibility. We killed [the lynx] off, so we should bring it back."
However, he added that he fears it is such a "sociopolitical" issue that it will take 20 years of debate before anything can happen, because there is a "disproportionate amount of control" on conservation action.
.....
"He also told the audience at the conference that he wants 30 per cent of Scotland set aside for wildlife, in order to preserve the natural world".
Gosh, haven't we all been bad? As I say when dealing with stray insects, 'tough, we're top of the food chain'.
