We have some 250 wolfes and over 1000 bears in Finland and more space to roam, still we are starting to have problems. If the the Scottish highlands are empty today, few bears might fit there, but not 500 wolfs! The bear has traditionally been respected in Finland for thousands of years, but these plans to grow populations are hurting that status.
BTW, the plans come from the EU comission, and they have taken Finland to court for killing wolfs that have attacked lifestock.
So ones you let them loose, you arent allowed to control the population.
In Finland they want to grow the numbers to something unbearable, that icludes also the Lynx (1200) and Wolwerine (150)..
