shovel leaner 7,650 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'll bear that in mind , but obviously I always stick to the letter of the law and wouldn't want to risk my firearms . In all seriousness I don't know what I would do if I ever had that situation, if it was in one of my pens I do , but I think by the time I'd rubbed my eyes and wondered if I was seeing things it would probably have gone .

beast 1,884 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I used to subscribe to a magazine called fortean times as I had an interest in ABC's and cryptids in general,i kid you not they once forwarded a theory that the big black cats in the UK appeared from another realm,they were not of this world Read some of this link.... http://kentbigcats.blogspot.co.uk/2007/06/fortean-times-june-2007-big-cats.html anything named Fortean is named after a bloke called Henry fort I believe, he claimed that scientists were to quick to dismiss anything that fell outside the box or did,nt fit with there agenda so most things Fortean are about proving things that science refuses to except like big cats running loose in the uk, I believe his son or grandson still travels the world looking for animals that don't excist or are meant to be extinct, just to get the mystery going again what is this, I do know and will tell but interested to hear others points of view Looks like a puma to me Edited June 29, 2017 by beast Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the clips I've seen with dogs on big cats, they are just holding them at bay , until a hunter finishes the job with a rifle . Link to post Share on other sites

darbo 4,776 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I always wonder how many people had private collections back in the day and what happened to them.. Approx 1971 there was a puma in a pet shop in wigan along with allsorts monkeys etc. i remember going in there with my nan and grandad age 7 looking at it. If there are any old uns from wigan on here they may remember it Tom Whalleys petshop. Link to post Share on other sites
