Just a little sad update on this story before it goes off air, but it turns out Lilith was,nt the only Lynx to die at this mickey mouse zoo, this story is from staff at the zoo, apparently they had five Lynx in a pen together there was a large tree growing over the enclosure which they had been advised to cut back but ignored, the Lynx were fighting so much that a zoo keeper actually strangled Lilith,s brother to death with a dog noose which was when she chipped off up the tree and away, her absence was not noticed for a day or two and they don't really know when she went exactly, there is lot

I have heard the decision to shoot it came after they had it trapped under a caravan and a man from the council decided to get some photos on his mobile phone instead of putting a net there, the prick tripped over scared the cat out and with the nsa putting as much pressure on as possible the council gave the go ahead to shoot her, the whole story is a bit shit really apparently she was in a cage with 5 other Lynx in the zoo as well, so her whole life was a bit rubbish really, I was talking with a vet last week who,s father is also a vet and he issues licences for dangerous animals, apparent

A sad end to it all poor animal

Fags,cars,fireworks, alcohol and grown ups all kill kids mate there still out there, Lynx is not a big cat by any stretch of the imagination, the biggest hurdle was getting insurance cover for any damage they do which has now been agreed so anything they kill will be paid for, for the first 5 years ,if there was even a microscopic chance of them killing kids no insurance company would touch it, they were also a native British animal and many believe they never went just got persecuted into tiny groups, Lynx make up 5 percent of big cat sightings in the uk year on year if you believe in all tha

Cheers mate thanks for that

Thanks

Definately a catagory A ,sadly I live on a main road with fields and a river bank on the opposite side so most cats with any real instinct usually end up a casualty, there was one some years ago that would sit by the traffic lights and cross when they went red which was pretty cool, I am on my first cat and though she is pretty sound I would not be in a rush to get another when she goes they just don't do it for me like a dog

Sadly mate the escaped Lynx in Wales is being blamed for sheep attacks which are unproven but the NSA are using it as an argument to holt the Lynx release, in answer to your question it would be nice if we study and monitor them more openly but just carry on as we are it,s still a tiny population and will be years before they are more than a rarity, I,d also love to see all the stuff they have been sitting on for years but that's more for me, so I can have my told you so moment

Does he take things of rat size and above mate, I watched a programme some time ago and it was something to do with there closeness to there wild ancestors, the cats they were testing fell into two catagory,s ones like semi feral farm cats would take rats and bigger and ones that were fully domesticated would take mice and small birds but ran away from a rat, my niece has a Tom that leaves rats and seagulls by the door regularly and very rarely comes indoors my cat is the small fry category that's indoors by dark everyday and runs away from everything,

That's what net curtains are for mate,

I have quite a few catty,s including a ppsg, pocket preditor target sniper, black widow a couple of starships, but I still shoot a tree fork catty about 90 percent of the time, just can't better what nature gives you for free ,I can remember the same thumb squashing moments myself as a child with the Old milbro but we seemed to think because it was a purpose made catty it would make us much better but in truth if you can shoot a catty you can shoot a catty and paying strong money does not make you even a tiny bit better, all the names on YouTube are as good with a twig fork as they are an al

Christmas is coming and I am really wanting a thermal imaging spotter/camera have been looking at these and it seems to good to be true for the money, so my question is has anyone had any experience of them and is it worth the money, have seen lots of video on utube and all seems to be good but would rather ask someone with first hand experience cheers

Holy crap how will we make up the shortfall?

If they never attempted to become a superstate using stealth tactics it would never have come to this, we have been trading in the common market for 40 years, the problems began when people saw the European police force, European army and the unelected government slowly stealing everyone,s individual identity, seems they are now slowly waking up to the fact we have poured far more into this massive social experiment than we have ever taken out and they are fecked without us -
An air rifle with roll up filters for ammo is very effective non lethal but gets the message across quick time give it a go if you have an old airgun

Anybody on Facebook able to help me out? I,ve been told of a photo that's gone on Facebook of a black panther near the Wellington monument, I don't have a scooby how to look for it or what group it involves but if anyone see,s it could you put the pic up or send it to me please, funnily enough another area loosing a lot of domestic cats at the moment

I understand your scepticism mate, I only cover an area on the Avon and Somerset border but have been hearing lots coming out of Dorset regarding pets being killed I think Jonathan mentioned a dog being attacked in the vid I put up a few pages ago he is the man that deals with reports and sightings in that neck of the woods, I don't get to see the things he has and he does not get to see all of mine we just send our stuff to a university that has people working on it in proper lab conditions I would say within a year or so we will be ready to dazzle you with the full case and all the evidenc

Your starting to cloud the water bringing that one up, they have had 300 cats and fox,s killed in two years and that's just the ones they have found ,big problem is bringing up the subject that big cats eat little cats and any other smaller preditors but I would love access to the pictures they have of all the remains, there is a simular situation going on in Dorset at the moment with lots of pets going missing but there have also been sightings of a puma and it seems to be coming in people's gardens and nailing pets and people are calling for it to be shot which is an inevitable thing, I wo

Looks like a stuffed animal to me

And it was the presence of the camera that appears to have spooked him off the trap, I think they have been advised to remove the cameras now, I'm sure a member of the group I,m involved with is helping them out will see if I can track a picture down I did have it sent to me but I could,nt get the link to work

According to my sources it's seven sheep killed two partially consumed so if it is him he's getting by, it's got to be a possibility though I no there was the remains of a leopard found on Bodmin moor in the early 80,s I guess it's age and health will have a bearing on if it survives or not
-
I think that's what I said roughly, i no many think I,m a madman and what I do is all fake, but in the early 80,s when the cat phenominum really took hold in the uk, Bodmin and exmoor were losing upto 30 sheep per night this was captive bred released animals behaving like fat kids in a cake shop but they quickly learnt and adapted and one thing that's very clear to me is that sheep are a last resort meal for older animals struggling to hunt or parents trying to feed young and not a food of choice, they don't like the chemical taste from dips and sprays and seem to dislike the fleece as well.
-
Another thing is that farmers are a little bit wily when it comes to getting a bit of compo and will be blaming everything on the Lynx so they can get a pound or two, I dare say all the sheep were prize winning Suffolk,s worth a fortune

This is a big problem for the release programme certain bodies that don't want the Lynx released will and are already started using this as an example of a wild Lynx,s normal behaviour, were as in most of there natural habitat they take 0.4 sheep per year I think Scandinavia is the only place the numbers are a bit higher, if the Lynx stay,s free he will naturalise and revert to taking the odd deer in winter and the young of smaller mamals through the summer, the poor thing is used to living in a cage having meet thrown to him, if they sent the sheep carcasses off to the same labs for DNA testi
-
Looking at the woods there got to be deer and boar at least in there and I guess normal pigeon,squirrel and corvids up the trees for the catty ,guess it depends on local rules and regs as well
-
Your probably spot on mate, but with age you not only hate change but you also like a good moan about it as well, i,m sure I,ll be bang upto speed by Christmas
