Did it work in Scotland? (maybe not I seem to remember reading something about it) Surely we have some places in the country wild enough to allow a small population take hold. Although then they might have to be culled to keep their numbers down, like the woman and the fly. We'd end up breeding T-Rex's to keep the population of tigers down, who were realeased to keep the population of wolves down who were released to keep the numbers of deer down.

Anyway on a serious note, I don't think wolves go around randomly attacking people, wild wolves are usually very shy as far as I know.

They have a big range though, don't think PP would really suit a pack, despite the deer.

Send FENNNTOONNNNNN over to them!

I'm sorry the poor deer are being shot....but I have to admit the second I saw this earlier the first thing that came into my mind was free stagbars!

Afaik the deer meat is given to the zoo and rightly so
The old , sick and injured are taken out each year after been monitored by rangers and so I highly doubt they would give the meat to hotels

i asked the park ranger what happens to it and he told me the entire carcass is sold to a hotel , i would think you could buy a lot of animal feed for what you would sell a deer for , so i would be inclined to believe him

They wouldn't be allowed it would have to go through a game dealer.
Think he probably thought that's what you wanted to hear rather than saying the <snip> president and guests eat them which is what happens.

Mod note: no need for the disrespectful adjectives.

Maybe it was a game dealer contracted to do the cull

Its normally the army rangers that do the shooting so unless one of them is a game dealer its unlikely.

There is so much conjecture in this thread, it's starting to implode on itself. I'm closing it now, but if someone can come up with the facts behind what happens to the Phoenix Park deer carcasses, pm me and I'll reopen the thread.
