I think the idea would be to restore them to their natural habitats, rural areas in the Scottish highlands etc., where there aren't even farmed animals let alone people or domestic pets. Areas that are being completely destroyed by out of control deer population. As the food source (all of those pesky deer!) is plentiful they would have no reason to move closer to any civilisation... most people might never see a lynx in their entire life, let alone be attacked by one. They would be very wary of humans.
