paulus 26 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not saying there is or isn't. But like lurcher 1 says even if you know there there,You would still struggle to see one,I spent a week on a safari and seen one leopard,Thats with all the land rovers each with a tracker and radios.The thing that struck me the most is you can, have a 6ton elephant standing in front of you and it walks behind one little tree that wouldn't hide a fox and totally disappears. IF there was a few big cats in the UK there would be so few they wouldn't nessarly have territories so would be traveling huge distances. The packs of fox hounds would make you wonder if they could be there,but after xmas how many foxs sneak out of covers as soon as they hear the pack even trotting down a road to draw a cover? On another note if i had proof of there being a big cat,photo video what ever ,would i make it public so every one with a gun or bullx Could be out trying to bag it. scent is still there after the animal vanishes, theres been sighting around here, however the local hunts despite having access to the majority of the land have never flushed or tree`d one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Valid point from Pip there. I mean; Who's going to try and deny there are 'pussy cats' out there? Of course there are! And yet, how often do we hear of fox packs rioting across hill and dale, hot on the scent of Mrs Jones' 'Tiddles' ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 There was one caught and given to the highland wildlife park ..... Oh. That old chestnut? " Petula the Puma ", or what ever they titled it? A patently pet puma that was so fat and infirm it could barely walk. She was basically dropped off. Wandered around for a bit. Was offered a nice cage trap, with a meal and comfy bedding, and wandered straight in there. All the government / media wanted. " Proof positive " that any cats in Britain were harmless husks, remnants of the 70's law. Keep Calm. Carry On. We Are Keeping You Safe! (Sheeple). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
