Take 2: Farmers v. lynx

What’s the big deal about big cats roaming the countryside?

Some campaigners pushing for the reintroduction of lynx to the Highlands as part of a wider rewilding campaign.

We ask former president of the National Farmers Union in Scotland, Martin Kennedy, why he and others have such strong objections.

Martin also responds to some of the claims made in the first episode we did on this topic. You can listen to 'Who thinks lynx should roam the Highlands?' on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds: /sounds/play/m0027tgn
