  1. There was a strong smell of lynx all over the east end of Glasgow on Christmas Day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  2. Such a stupid thing to do, it’ll set the debate back years on doing it legally.

    There’s a decent chance they’ll be shot not tranquilised as well making this even more tragic.

  3. Please. Big cats have been living in Scotland for decades already. And I don’t mean feral moggies.

  4. Clearly there was no case to answer and they were released without charge…

  5. I saw a panther a few times roaming about the Bathgate hills and a field in Armadale West lothian

  6. That is wonderful news, bring predators back to Scotland!

  7. If you wanted to do this, surely this would be the worst possible time of year?

  8. More lynxes, more wolves, more bears, more deer, more geese, more of every mad animal, let’s go

  9. Fun fact lynx are unlikely to attack humans since there’s the fact we’re about twice the size of them and often travel in groups

  10. I saw one near the Meadows. Think it was the Bruntsfield Lynx.

  11. I’m all for the introduction of predators across Scotland, however this is not the way. It just introduces far too many variables and could end disastrously, setting the current projects back years.

    Then the guerrilla in me is screaming mon’ eh lynx!

    Question though, where the hell do you even get a lynx? Where does your average Scot pick up some lynx to just pap oot into the wild?

    Was just discussing, coldest day of the season so far with colder forecast over the next couple of days and only releasing two animals doesn’t seem like it will be overly successful. But that’s assuming these are the only 2 that have been released …

  12. My dumb ass upon seeing one …. Psss psss psss … aww pretty kitty i wana pet the danger kitten and take it home and love and cuddle it …… it’s so fluffy … ow … ow .. the pain just means it loves me 😂

  13. I do hope these guys aren’t euthanised, but I highly doubt it would be appropriate to leave them in the wild should they be tracked down. We don’t know where they came from or if they even have the necessary survival skills to survive in the wild. It is absolutely fascinating to find out how this came to be – it not like they would have just been let through customs…

  14. Jesus, theyll go straight for the haggis – who wont know what hit them.

  15. I knew some wildlife activist would do this eventually. Boar and beaver are doing well with accidental releases, hopefully the lynx can thrive. 

    Or there is going to be a gamekeeper with a really rare trophy soon. 

  16. Good weather for it. Those kitties will get a two day head start,  which is more than they need. They’ve got friends in every town and village from here to Fort William. They speak a dozen languages, know every local custom. They’ll blend in, disappear, you’ll never see them again. With any luck, they’ve got the Irn Bru already…
