mackem 26,527 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yup,but the seem to have switched their attention to dogs over the last few years estimated to take between 800-2000 street dogs a year,there was a solicitor who was killed by a leopard,high-profile,following his death there were calls to rid Bombay (I hate Mumbai,it was Bombay when I was there so Bombay it is) of the cats totally. 2 Quote Link to post

Just read a nat-geo revised estimate going off a cam-trap survey theres probably 40 leopard living in the city,and due to preying on dogs probably save 100 lives a year as rabies is prevalent in the citys stray dog population. 2 Quote Link to post

My dad seen one before and got the piss ripped in the pub . He took it in his stride but still is adamant he seen one . Obviously theirs a angle where because he's my dad I would believe him but he isn't the bullshit type at all. And a school head teacher seen one while fishing the rivers and kept his mouth quiet because even tho he was a country guy he wasn't as thick skinned as my dad and didn't want the jokes at his expense . He told my dad about it that's how I know . I just find it hard to believe that everybody is making it up when they get jokes when they say it (exclude the crap reports, I meant the guys who are out in the country all the time and know what they see) . I'm not 100% convinced, I'll save e that for when proof is out there but in a group of people where their word is something to be proud of and to be kept that people would ruin it by making up a story like that .

shaaark 10,786 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Boris, I went for a walk last night where 'supposedly' a 'big cat' had been seen on a few occasions. Now, to tell the truth, I was a tad apprehensive, not to mention a little nervous, but you know what it's like, in the end I thought 'f**k it, if I do do see summin like that I'll just chin the f****r'. Well, I did see what I thought was a big cat, but, again in my excitement I'd only forgot to take my camera..... AGAIN!! Note to self, every time I go for a walk in the countryside, TAKE A CAMERA ............ JUST IN CASE!!! Edited March 25, 2019 by shaaark Quote Link to post

Gilbey 1,434 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 daft how some folk get in a flap about it. There was some, people have admitted letting them go and some have been shot. But there is no(available??) real proof there's any about now and definitely not the numbers some say. Interesting kills etc but nothing to prove it's cats Quote Link to post
