Now people who love wolves read this :D

The return of wild wolves to Scotland would benefit the environment and economy, a study has found.

The feared predators would control the rapidly growing deer population, which has been blamed for destroying trees and vegetation, and help regenerate forests.

Reintroducing wolves would also control the number of animals which eat game birds like the capercaillie and their eggs, according to experts from Imperial College London and two Norwegian universities.

Despite expensive culls, some estimates suggest that deer in the Highlands number almost 500,000, which is close to the land's maximum capacity.

Biologist Dr Eleanor Jane Milner-Gulland, of Imperial College, said: "There would be benefits to both the ecosystem and the regional economy if this path was followed.

"We have shown that reintroducing wolves would significantly reduce the need for expensive culling and the resulting decline in deer numbers would lead to a marked increase in plant and bird life bio-diversity and reforesting the area would be easier too."

The researchers surveyed people living in the Highlands and Scottish cities and found that 43 would like to see the wolf return to Scotland.

Just 14 were opposed to any re-introduction of the once native animals, which were wiped out in Scotland 240 years ago by sheep farmers and landowners.

The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society, estimates that up to 500 wolves could be released across the Highlands, allowing up to 25 wolves a territory of about 1,000 sq km.

Within half a century, the deer population would fall to around quarter of its present number.

Disclaimer: I don't own the info on the wolves above it does belong to our great friend AOL tho hehe
