leegreen 2,173 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) its a mythical beast......just like "the otter"...... how many people see an otter ????? ? hey ? not many ! in rural parts of the country if an animal doesnt want to be seen , how many people acually see's it ? my point exactly! I've seen Otters on a couple of occasions and I have friends that have many good pictures of them. Don't know of any body that has really seen a big cat, let alone got a picture of one. Your point is? Edited September 2, 2013 by leegreen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 With todays technology.... Camera phones... head cameras...trail cameras...cctv... I would think there would be absolute solid proof.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 But aren't big cats ultra stealthy? I have friends living in Texas who have Great Pyrenees mountain dogs and the cougars (cats not middle aged women lol) regularly give them grief. You don't know the cats are there until boom! Too late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kruby01 114 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 There's a website about shropshire big cats, I've had this conversation a few times. My mate that I hunt with swears blind he has seen one. It was on country file a few months back I think and there's things online showing livestock that doesn't look like it was killed by a fox. I seem to remember a horse was one of them? I believe there is big cats about. As has been said if they don't want to be seen then they won't. Was it the Tasmanian devils that where extinct but then they eventually found a spot that had a group still wild? It proves that just because we haven't found it doesn't mean they don't exist.

It's the same sort of area and with two eye witness accounts. I know we have all the technology but the majority of farmers are over 60 and don't use camera phones and these are the people the that are out and about the most . I was shown pictures of carcasses which with big puncture wounds and the farmer reckoned nothing would touch the carcass after. The farmer reckons the government won't test the carcass for DNA because of the funding issue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wullz 408 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 My next door neighbour and his son claim to have seen one, between Bathgate and Linlithgow....one bound from a high bank hit the middle of the road and over the fence on the far side....black, long thick tail. Not the first time there have been reports in this area.... However, like everyone else, I wont believe it myself until the pelt is lying in front of the stove...... I have been all round the area day and night and never seen hide nor hair....... Question is, would you shoot it??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
