sandymere 8,263 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 What we see and what there is often at variance and a couple of sightings with thermal equipment in the noughties is not conclusive, they though they saw a big cat but “thought. Random footprints are equally subjective, a couple of million dogs plus wildlife making footprints daily, just through random chance some will look like a big cat. Now a roadkill, confirmed to be a big cat and taken for examination, or a litter of kits found by people and taken to a wildlife rescue or a good phone video of a cat protecting its cubs or a wildlife camera recording or even a decent bit of CCTV video of a big cat would be a bit more like evidence. But as none of these things exist when they would if we had a population breeding in the UK, a very populace country, it must question the existence of big cats in the UK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They always do . no matter how you dress it up , in any way of “I’ve seen” in reality there is zero as in none evidence at all of big cats in the uk Agree with you on that , out of all the pictures and videos there either blurred or there house cats, thermals make badgers look like wild boars to newbies that’s not to mention the amount of trail cams that are all over the uk , and walkers ,campers,lampers,ferreters , hound packs etc etc and then you get the usual rubbish about farmers shooting them and burying them and not saying anything as they don’t want the grief or the pictures have been taken as evidence blah blah , lads can’t help but take pictures of deers ,hare fox’s with there dogs if they saw or shot a cat it’d be all over uk faster than the Covid scare lol 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 21,862 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Out for a mooch near a village called Loddiswell I never seen any big cats but could not help thinking out them as this was a real hot spot for a while back and still from time to time now. It's a large space owned by The Woodland Trust with great for dog walkers with some long rides in a heavy wooded valley. I have some permission near here and the Farmer has seen them and his daughter came within a few yards of one all black ones.
