What the heck are they playing at?

[wolf63]

I heard about morning but didn't have the time to check it out. I hope there are no dangerous animals there

[jno]

all dead now, wolf.

I suppose accidents do happen.

[Tilly2]

That is dreadful news. They obviously have no idea what they are doing, it seems. They've killed this one, that's for sure!

[DTCwordfan]

this must be a chain reaction.....

[douglas9401]

Authorities say the cases may be lynxed.

[Tilly2]

That is not funny, DTC!

[Tilly2]

...and Douglas!

[ladybirder]

Nothing funny about it at all.

[jno]

I stick to Goldfinger's maxim: Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. I'm not calling for them to be closed down yet.

[Tilly2]

I am. I think they are playing at zookeeping.

[DTCwordfan]

that's zoology for you.....seriously, there are many more lynx running around than the 'government' would acknowledge - and most are not a threat, as they prefer wee beasties like Haggis, Rabbits or Voles - and even a Kit-Kat or two....

[Zacs-Master]

I’ve just had a KitKat.

[DTCwordfan]

as good as a Crunchy?

[ladybirder]

DTC we are talking about a second lynx that was NOT running around the countryside but was mishandled, sounds like strangled, in the care of people who are supposed to know what they are doing.

[Zacs-Master]

Noooo DTC. Crunchies are king.

[DTCwordfan]

sorry ladybirder, take this for what it is worth, it was lynched not lynxed.....

From what I know of them, they are not likely to be a human threat as the UK environment affords plenty of small beasties year around for them to survive on, the issue for folk is knowing where they are.....

[ladybirder]

DTC I know they're not. I haven't said they are. This thread is supposed to be about the idiots who have now caused the death of a second lynx through mishandling it whilst in their care. Nothing to do with running around in the countryside.

[douglas9401]

I'd guess that neither event was intentional and certainly not something to get up to high doh about.

[Mamyalynne]

They have held their hands up and said 'no excuse' to this incident, damn shame a beautiful creature has died.

Let's see what the inspection has to say.

Couldn't run a zoo if their lives depended on it !! Damn shame ...
