An interesting post but can't you just hear the hunters already loading their rifles ?

Lilli, as the scientist says the predatory dogs create a new dynamic but this will create a natural balance. If the buffer zone disappears I don't trust the Cypriots to be the responsible custodians of this uniquely created environment and just see the hunters having a field day and shooting everything including the wild dogs - like anglers around a freshly stocked fish pond.

FISHNCHIPS - just a shame that those who have responded to Malsancack's later post 'Rare wildlife found in the Cyprus Green Line Areas' hadn't read yours first.
