Wolves in the UK, post SHTF.

[Tartar Horde]

If the SHTF in a big way and any of these top predators escape into the countryside we are looking at major problems regarding the UK. Our North American cousins have the edge with being able to own weapons sufficient enough to protect themselves, unfortunately in our restrictive society we do not have that luxury.
Most people have no idea what these animals are capable of as they have only seen them in the artificial environment of zoos and wild life parks. With any serious breakdown you would see these animals inhabit a world of endless opportunities. Imagine all the farm animals they could feed on, not to mention the wild game like Deer that are so common these days, it would be the promised land. All the top feline predators would be able to survive the UK winter, as would the Wolves and Bears.
Any Human survivors would see themselves thrust back into a world inhabited by the predators of our Ice Age ancestors, without the weapons to protect themselves. Unless you have firearms can you seriously imagine having to fight off a Leopard, Lion or Tiger, never mind a pack off Dogs or Wolves, and what about Bears. I like to think I am a decent archer but I would have to be insane or desperate to even consider taking on these animals with anything less than than a serious firearm.
