Closest thing to a leopard I've seen so far.

[EDDIE B 3,162]

Only a theory. Could hair from this leopard be used to fake big cat evidence? The owner of the zoo, is well in with Minter, as are the actual guy's who "found the hair" doing the rounds in the newspapers at the moment. 

The owner of the zoo also believes there are big cats roaming the British countryside.

 Wouldn't it be a lovely "gift", for the owner, to donate some hair, from the dead leopard to his buddies.

To show the world, that they are not a mad shower of lunatics.

 Will we see more hair pop up in different places over the next few months/years?

Plausible, or as Father Ted says, "maybe just a little too far fetched"?

You be careful wandering up north, I've been and they're no better than they should be! I found a distinct lake of whippets and flat caps which was disappointing.......

It would appear they've lost all their native culture.

Mate I’ve said it before but you really do need to give your head a shake, rick attends mountain lion conferences in the states every few years works with people from Africa and India on leopard issues and has been involved with Dartmoor and exmoor zoos for years, no one is interested in lying apart from certain people that actually have nothing to gain, we had our first positive dna hits over 10 years ago, the big surprise to us all is that we managed to publicise it not that we got it, this is a bit of a big step forward if you  stop looking for cheats and liars in everything you see

No, not everything lad. I've never called you a liar, for I honestly don't think you are making shit up. I think you honestly believe you've seen what you've seen, and I won't change your mind on that.

Minter though, and a few others. I can see right through them. I'm a very good judge of character. Anyone that knows me, will tell you that. I can spot a c*unt or a bull shitter a mile away. That lad can't lie streight in the bed. You mark my word.

Icke and McGowan might both be visited by the same spacecraft cunningly disguised as a motor home,here’s McGowans (and I thought the magic changing room was stealth).

you would think that the people that are serious about the presence of big cats in the UK would distance themselves from that idiot, he doesn't do them any favours when he's spouting stuff like that

Mate I,ve met people from this forum that have seen things in the night sky they can’t explain I think most people that have spent a lot of time out doors all night have seen something, but I,m no ones judge or jury, not my bag but not a reason to disbelieve everything someone says because you don’t agree on one subject and a lot of things Jonathan has brought to the table on this subject have stood up to thorough scientific examination, I think any subject that’s out side the norm attracts more than its share of odd balls but it don’t mean they are wrong, mackem particularly likes to keep throwing this into the ring as it’s one of the few things he has left to discredit the topic , in all subjects you have to pick through a lot of nonsense to unearth the truth

Of all the people I,ve met through this journey rick is possibly one of the most honest people, he’s someone I would never even speak with in my normal life, which I also like, meeting people from different walks of life that I would never meet if I never did stuff like this, I also think for you to be making such assumptions about a man you have never spent a second with is more telling about yourself than anyone, that’s why I am always happy to meet people, most turn out to be sound a few I swerve after first contact and one or two loose there arse before arriving which is also very telling, Anyways nice to talk I,m off to work now for a few hours

See that's it lad. I don't need to meet him. I've listened to him. Sometimes that's all that's needed.

 For instance. And there's many of them. He brings a toy leopard to a zoo, expecting to see a big reaction from the leopards.. Then, when they didn't, he tried to suggest that one of them did. 

 Now me, you, and the wall will know, that those leopards would not be fooled by toys. They will use their sense of smell, to determine in an instant that that was not a leopard.

 This is coming from a big cat expert. Some say, THE big cat expert. He's gone to school, and passed the exams.

 But has he grown up in the countryside? Has he learned those things we've all learned from our fathers, grandfather's etc, of how nature works?

Word of the week

ANTHROPOMORPHISM 

I think that one was especially relevant for Rick himself.

I've seen things in the night sky that i can't explain but that is a bit different from taking a photo of a motor home and telling the world its f****n spaceship
