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

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

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

Daily star refused to publish that pic but Rick “Big Cat” Minter would give you star billing on the next podcast if you let him get Tooth-pit and DNA samples from those bones #Citizenscientistmyarse.

smithie 2,443 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
