THE answer to Dennis Sharp (Letters, June 25, ‘Lynx return will not work’), farmer and deer-stalker, is that the lynx is a shy beast that stays concealed in woods.
It does not emerge into open ground to hunt, or for any other reason.
Consequently his fears are groundless.
Sheep do not graze in woods.
