So the sheep farmers don't like the idea, that's understandable, but what's the long term impact on the environment? That's the real question to be answered. Not "they belong here" and stuff like that. What is the environment like now and exactly how will the lynx affect it?
We have a serious python problem here in the Everglades, caused by ignorant people buying the "cute little snakes" when they're young, and not realizing just how huge they get. So the dump them off in the Everglades, and guess what? OK, pythons are certainly more problematic then lynx, but the point is the same - figure it out beforehand.

I suspect that many many years ago, a little boy's Dad bought him a little baby Crocodile from the Pet Shop, for his birthday.
Then one day, it got a bit too big to manage so they let it go in the local river.
Now look what has happened!...
