Greyman 25,171 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 16 minutes ago, BGD said: BBC story from today says it was recaptured within the outer compound. Of course the Daily Fail chose not to include that part of the quote, "journalism" at it's finest http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-42706812 Devon and Cornwall Police said they "were informed by the owner of a clouded leopard that his animal had escaped its inner compound". Upon arrival they found the animal in its outer compound where it was recaptured. Police officers said they "were then informed by a local farmer that the leopard had broken out of its compound and had allegedly attacked some of his sheep". Apparently it's one of a pair so may have got out then returned for its mate? I think the run was damaged in a storm,or maybe the farmer was after a bit of compo when he heard about the cats escape but did,nt realise it was still withing the outer boundary , which would make scots assumption he's a retarded liar a bit more weighty Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,821 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Either way I think this just goes against the wild big cats argument as it was yet again caught whether by a farmer or not. The apparent released ones from 70s or 80s never pictured or caught ?? Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,171 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Putting aside weather or not anyone believes me, I,ve just seen an add for a talk by big cat expert called Danny nineham and it's very local to my areas of research, I,ve had a little Google on the bloke and some of the claims he has made are pretty far removed from what I see as reality, so I was just wondering if anyone knows or has heard of him ???

I,ve had quite a few emails and phone calls regarding this expert and he seems to talk the talk without ever backing anything up and is avoided by most interested in the subject he has also had Bigfoot encounters in the Forest of Dean and what a mad coincidence his nephew was the boy that had his face scratched in that famous big cat encounter in Wales and he managed to get himself on the police helicopter to help look for it ?? Don't no if I,m willing to pay a £10 to hear what he has to say and don't no if I could keep my mouth shut for very long if I do go, decisions decisions Link to post Share on other sites
