It doesn't feel too polite tbh and the discussion isn't about a relevant topic anymore but seems to be about cherry-picking your interpretation about what someone said to prove a point which is not even clear to me. You don't have to be right and try to prove your right by twisting what others said. We have different opinions and should be able to understand it. You've given your opinion which is fair. Others have given their opinion which is also fair. There's no point in continuing this into an endless discussion where it's no longer about sharing opinions and thoughts but only trying to prove you're 'right' and others are 'wrong' by aggressively twisting words and only discussing semantics while the original arguments are totally lost.

A final point about the cherry-picked argument which isn't even relevant at all:

'No one is asking for cats and dogs' --> sure you can find people asking for it on a forum with what? over a million posts? Don't take it all so literally. I agree that it shouldn't have been worded as 'literally no one ever asked for it', but who cares? The point is that the discussion here was not about cats or dogs. Yes you're right that cats and dogs are domestic animals, but not all domestic animals are cats and dogs. The ones where the discussion started are what I would call 'farm' animals (specifically because someone requested cattle and then others requested more species typically found in petting zoos). We can have another 20 page discussion about whether cats and dogs are farm animals, but that would surely miss the point; they obviously live on farms, but again they were not part of this discussion so no point of bringing them in as a strawman argument.

I don't need to have a final word in this discussion or anything, but it bothers me that in multiple threads in this Forum arguments seem to get so heated lately while totally losing any relevance. I remember reading so many posts on the Planet Zoo reddit about how wonderful, kind and respectful this game's community is, and it's sad to see these endless pointless discussions here of all places.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else aware people are planning on reintroducing Eurasian Brown Bears back into the UK? I found it on here.

This is quite old. Reintroducing carnivores comes up from time-to-time. However, there are loads of discussions for reintroducing animals:
  • Great bustard in Salisbury Plain
  • European wildcat in Devon
  • Further Eurasian beaver reintroductions
  • Bison in Kent
  • White-tailed eagle to England
However, people are pathetic regarding carnivores so there’s a lot more of a push against them. For example, with lynx, farmers are concerned about sheep and over protective mothers don’t want their child to be eaten (even though that would not happen). Even though they are needed because we just have deer and sheep overgrazing the entirety of the British Isles!
