First Minister John Swinney has ruled out the legal reintroduction of lynx into the wild in Scotland.
His comments follow concerns about the illegal release of four lynx in the Cairngorms last month.
Campaigners have been working on plans for the controlled reintroduction of the cats to benefit rural biodiversity but farmers have raised concerns about the impact they would have on livestock.

So once again, it’s meat-eaters fucking up the natural ecosystem for the rest of us. Cool, great.
This seems like an unnecessary reintroduction. I’m not familiar with Scotland but it’s hard to imagine there being enough wild land for this to work. Correct me if I’m wrong.
It would help forests expand at their margins but you’re right, what Scotland really needs is wolves.
