My experience being involved with the exotics trade for decades and my pals who were some of the biggest names in importing and dealing in large exotic mammals before and after the ban. How many big cats do you think were in private hands before the ban then?

400? How would the authorities know how many there were? Wasn't that the reason for the change in the law, to keep a track? There must be some who successively applied for a licence? If any of their cats escaped, wouldn't they keep it quiet to keep their licence or avoid punishment?

So, with this information of yours, and I have no reason to disbelieve you, and a few others on this site, keepdiggin, Arry and a few few others, stiffy and Co are calling you all liars.

Now, I know for a FACT, in 2014 my Mrs was NOT allowed to visit our eldest lad, in a residential care home in Hereford, and him and the other lads there weren't allowed outside of the grounds, due large non native cat on the loose which had attacked a couple of horses and also sheep.

Go f**k yourself you wee stirrer

never once called any of the above a liar 

the thread , for some reason was pointed at me , and I think it’s fair to say that any rational person would ask the same questions . 

that bird set that sample up , clear as day , for all you Truth seekers I find it incredulous that none have you have cottoned on to a fact

I would have thought you would know the answer to that as the biggest importer of exotic animals, you should also know how easy cats are to breed and people were breeding in captivity for the pet trade just like they are today with bengals and savannah cats etc having a pet shop and a few parrots don’t make you joey exotic so unless you have something a little more substantial than that I’d not bother getting involved trying to answer a question with another question is just equal to nothing

That would have been an experience.

I remember  once spending a whole day in Marwell zoo. I watched  cheetah cubs and snow leopard cubs playing all afternoon.

I was one of the last ones to leave and I walked down an avenue of big cats waiting to be fed. The roaring literally set the hairs on my head on end. That was a fantastic experience.

Oops, debate can only go so far on THL without the handbags coming out. Postcodes exchanged very soon. I'm out.

That seems why many people on here tell me on private pms because the one or two belters always shout the loudest so it’s not worth bothering

It's all estimates based on numbers imported and sold but my pal who like I say was one of the biggest dealers at the time reckons at the time of the ban less than 500 were in private hands and the majority of them were either surrendered or the owners got the licence and carried on keeping them legally. As for keeping escapees under wraps well it'd lead to an awkward conversion when it came time for your renewal and inspection and you had one less cat and no proof of where it went.

The fact is the majority of cats sold in the UK never even made it to adulthood, the trade was a constant churn of cubs that were bought by folk who had no way of handling them as they grew and so they'd die of neglect, honestly a really grim trade and I'm glad it was stopped.

Similar to being in the south lakes I’d imagine
