Maybe not for you but I,m more than happy with the progress I,ve made personally over that time, yes it would be nice to have live footage and someone from the government telling you it’s ok to believe it’s true, or you can go out and do it yourself like I have and satisfy your own curiosity Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't show true size; that cat is at arms length and the photo taken at an angle ... see it all the time in fishing. When you look quickly it looks to be the same length as the man but it's not, probably the size of a fox 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to know there is resident big cats in the UK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Whip 4,086 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Has anyone in the UK that is keen and certain of big cats living there ever imported some trained, big cat hunting hounds. There were some blokes in Oz that imported some coonhounds for tracking pumas they had seen. They came up empty handed but they must have been convinced they were there to go to that expense.

Your a long way away mate, but I have offered to take anyone along to a meeting at the RAU, I don’t own or have the rights to show and share everything I,m privy to, but you would get to see things that other people have, also keep up to date with the podcast as that is were the truth will be released first, what people need to understand is I was just like you,I had heard the story’s seen a few grainy pics and didn’t think much more of it, then I found a few things I couldn’t explain so I went looking for answers and for me they have more than been answered I,ve met a lot of weird and wonderful people and been shown enough evidence to leave no doubt whatsoever in my mind that we have a small population of medium sized cats breeding in small pockets around the uk, the answers I am still looking for is A is the population getting bigger or smaller through inbreeding ? And B are they still keeping themselves pure or are we growing a hybrid population out of what was discarded that will be more suited to living in England, I might not have long enough left on earth to find all the answers but the ground work will certainly be there for others to carry on 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 44,963 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I know of some lads who bought a half wild boar x sow full up with piglets and released it ..the ground has hounds over it in the season...walk it and you find signs of them digging for grub and the mud baths...not one has been seen since,not by landowners or crossing roads etc to my knowledge...was working on a building site not far from old 7 bridge few yrs back...the boar have spread from the FOC and are down that far...there's herds of deer outskirts of Newport ,back end of Celtic manor resort...just because you don't see them,don't mean they ain't there 3 Link to post Share on other sites
