Why does the UK have rubbish wildlife?

Most have become extinct. We recently had wolves, bears, elk and a type of lynx but humans have killed or driven them away by stealing their food.

Wallabies still exist which is cool :) and they are in the process of reintroducing wolves to scotland
 
We have brilliant wildlife,unlike africa,states,australia, which have poisonous spiders, fire ants, killer bees not to mention poisonous snakes and scorpions, bot fly, hookworms, tapeworms which find their way into your brain and various other charming parasites too numerous to mention.
I'm in the highlands of scotland-we have plenty of wildlife here.
 
I'm afraid all the half decent willd life has been hunted down and shot. We do still have foxes and badgers and rabbits and things like that
 
It's not really fair to compare an island to much larger land masses. Your area used to host the animals we think of as African. Google "Donner Banks" fauna.

A tourist in the UK saw a farmer sprinkling a purple dust over his fields. Intrigued, he asked the farmer what he was doing.

"It keeps the lions away", said the farmer. "My daddy did it and his daddy, and so on as far back as we can trace."

"But", sputtered the tourist, "there haven't been lions in England for thousands of years."

"Works well, doesn't it?" was the answer.
