Was just reading this before I came on here, sounds like it couldn’t really be anything other than a big cat. With the footbprints and wounded lab to prove it!

So, well known in the area apparently, someone knows where it lives but not a photo in sight.

Someone knows we’re it lives a nomadic creature that moves about 20k in a night and has a territory that can take a year to cover has an address, don’t no what’s more stupid, the folk that say these things or those that pass them on in the hope of gaining some credibility ?

It keeps glitching out on my pad so can’t read them all, but this is one of the reasons we are trying to work with the authority,s as there is just to much misinformation and the rspca and police don’t really no what they are looking for or dealing with, eg puma or panther, a puma which we do get quite a few reports of is sandy brown in colour and comes from the states were as a panther is a descriptive word for a melonistic cat which can be several different species, though black cats here are leopards and nothing else and the reason they are black is the pet trade in England was supplied from the Malaysian peninsular were black leopards were prevalent, so if they saw a black cat it was a melonistic leopard and not a puma, there can be no confusion, the blokes dog probably stumbled on it resting and took a swipe, if it meant business the dog would have been gone and he probably would,nt have been any the wiser, the interesting points in the article is the dogs reaction to the cats presence and the fact several pet cats in the area have gone missing both of these points are consistent with other areas with regular sightings, and peoples encounters with dogs

Precis version of the comments, generally locals to the area......its a load of BS.

Bit disappointed the local bull x lads aren't out in force

Did anybody see a photo of the dogs injuries.?

Was just reading about this in the paper. Although I love the romanticism of big cats roaming our Countryside, it seems very pie in the sky and a bit like the Loch Ness monster to me, every man and his dog owns a camera phone now, surely they’d have took a credible photo of one by now. I mean look at this photo on the BBC news, it’s quite clearly an average black house cat.

I don't think it was that dog, it was a Golden Labrador that was supposed to be injured.
