Is that the end of it or is there some sort of follow up? Link to post Share on other sites

Is that the end of it or is there some sort of follow up? It’s very regulated, re the dangerous wild animals act that came in during the 70s, big flaw it only became illegal to release them around 83 so any one that owned one and did not want to comply with the act were perfectly within there rights to take them off to Bodmin,Dartmoor and various other remote locations and simply let them go 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,460 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I was told some years back that around a dozen cats a year still get seized being smuggled in( have never looked into it) makes you wonder how many don’t get caught, the serval is what a lot of the savanna/Bengal cat type things are bred from so would imaging it’s someone planning a get rich quick breeding project, all helps to top up the gene pool Link to post Share on other sites
