Expand I dont know if I could listen to another one to be honest. I don't like Minters style. Putting words in people's mouth, getting them to agree with his daft concepts. He's probably the one who came up with the crazy idea, that big cats don't stash their kills, because no animal in the UK is big enough to take it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand First thing anyone wanting to prove they had a leopard lying at their feet would do is make sure the photograph showed the head ,not some ambiguous body shot from a bad angle. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand 98 episodes of Big Cat Diary going back several years and that “Leopard Cub” is the sun total of “evidence” from one of Britain’s trio of self professed Big Cat Experts.The “Cub” was shot in 2019 its mother supposedly in 2018.If I had a podcast,books,etc and that pic was offered to me as “Proof” I would have asked the guy was he taking the piss,minter just accepted it as proof that big cats are breeding in the UK,he never questions as he has already stated he estimates there are up to 1000. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just to be a tad 'objective' Expand We'll never know. But there were rumours that contractors engaged in the clean up after last year's Chelsea Flower Show found the remains of Alan Tichmarsh stashed in a tree . However this picture taken in Sussex proves beyond doubt that gardeners form the diet of big cats in the UK (OK,being pedantic pumas aren't technically Big Cats even though they are quite big). Note the way flesh has been stripped from the bones by the cat's rasping tongue . There can be no doubt on the matter now . Though the cover-up conspiracy stretches far beyond the Government as even the Daily Star refused to publish this picture! Edited July 19, 2023 by comanche 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithie 2,444 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Rick minter often talks of compensation to farmers for loss of stock. I don't know were the money would come from to pay it out to a load of crooked claims and I Hope it would not be paid from my taxes as government money is running out.. Not overly worried about it as its hard to prove an existence never mind a definite kill.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
