And the guys surname is "Disney" :laugh:

 

 

.............. intresting though that he said the cat had brown spots on a black coat , "black panthers" are actually black jaguars, just a different colour variation on the normal spotted coat......... exactly the same as getting a black fox or rabbit. The underlaying coat still has spots which are generally only visable in close quarters or bright sunlight.

what on earth makes them think that any evidence presented by a police man retired or active would be the truth

[scothunter 12,609]

plenty sightings,but never proof,maybe all those sightings get abducted by ufo"s

[Catcher 1 639]

Never seem to see any good pics.

[bouncer 51]

i have always said if they are out there what are they feeding on because surely they would be killing sheep,and cattle which farmers would report.

[scothunter 12,609]

or at the very least,after all these years you would think one would have been hit by a car or a train.

[robo-christ 40]

i think if there are any here,why do we not find dead ones?

sneaky when theyre alive but im sure they stink just as much as anything else when theyre dead.

A black cat was seen by a local farmer not to far from me walking into a barn on his farm about 8 months ago he closed the door behind it trapping it inside. the local authority 'not sure who that was 'defra' was informed and it was tranquilised and taken away! he was told thatgoverment policy was to not to publicise such cases to stop panic by landowneers and the public.when asked what wopuld happen he was told old or injured cats are destroyed any healthy ones go to private collectgions game reserves or zoos. casts have been taken locally of prints, also after talking to a local farmer to me about this he has said that he has found a carcus of a sheep henging in a branch aswell as seeing a lynx in the area 15 years ago. the way i see itn is if they were out there you would rarely see them, how often do you see deer, fox, badger unless your know where they are and there are plenty of them abput so a small population of cats would easily evade detection its in there nature to be very elusive even in there natural enviroment.

yep , or as above you think you find dead ones, even if foxes did have a go at them, you still would find the carcass

i dont agree,,,, foxes and badgers are seen daily here,, or should say nightly,,,,,, you say cats are elusive, and thats true,,, however wild life photographers film big cats world wide, some of them very rare idividuals..

 

i agree with robo christ,, we would have seen dead individuals lying around the countryside by now, acording to statistics theres been hundreds if not thousands of sightings,,,, that would mean a lot of individuals wandering the british countryside. wich would mean dead cats lying around,

 

however about 20 years ago there was cerval or jungle cat ,, somthing like that shot in hampshire there was a pic of it with the guy that shot it.

:sick: "would love to see couple bullxs on one" why does someone always say that everytime there something on big cats?

 

 

 

you will never see one in british countryside if you believe that your as gullible as believing a repeal on the hunting act
