Farm Animal Conundrum

[Scythe13]

There is frequently talk about hunting and the alike. I know because I start a lot of it. However, there is one obvious source of meat being 'overlooked'. Okay, that's a blatant lie, it's not overlooked at all. It's actually eaten daily.

Farm animals, e.g. cows, sheep, pigs, etc, are a staple of the UK diet...unless you're a veggie/vegan.

Granted, there will be farmers coveting their animals more than they already do. Wisely so.

However, the burglary in Wales that saw the release of the wild boars got me thinking. If the animals are stuck in a field, they're easy pickings, right? And not just easy for you or me, but for anyone looking for an easy snack.

There has previously been talk about seeing the zoo as a bit of an animal buffet, as well as talk about people possibly releasing the animals...great plan, lions running around the UK, just what we need.

I'm just curious if anyone has considered releasing farm animals into the wild with the hope that they would breed?
