Hannah4181 260 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danw 1,748 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 what on earth makes them think that any evidence presented by a police man retired or active would be the truth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bouncer 51 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 or at the very least,after all these years you would think one would have been hit by a car or a train. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robo-christ 40 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
awen 29 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 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.

Bogger 243 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 :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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
