  1. As has been said, what the eyes see and the brain interprets. Take the cat in the caravan, Greyman saw a leopard but in reality it was a cat.
  2. It would appear we have plenty of evidence of polecats, voles and various fish? But pictures of big cats? Surely with 50 years of study by big cat "experts ", including bushman trained trackers, and such like surely they've managed to get some decent trail cam picture etc?
  3. Plenty of mink and otter here, pick up the odd mink with the dogs when pottering about. People say what they see, no lie in that, but we know very well what we see is often at odds with what is there.
  4. Excellent ?, bet they slept well.
  5. Feck, they throw out some amount of kittens, imagine if there were 5 to 10 on Dartmoor, be like rabbits about the fields in a few years...you'd be falling over them what with no natural predators and having excellent road sense.......

  8. Nationwide? Armed cops in 45-minute standoff with 'TIGER' on Scottish Farm… only to find it was a giant teddy | The Sun WWW.THESUN.CO.UK The panicked farmer frantically called cops to report a tiger hiding in his cow shed, sparking an armed police standoff before the cuddly truth came to light

  11. Escaped tiger alert turns out to be soft toy WWW.BBC.CO.UK Terrified neighbours raised the alarm after spotting the giant cat resting in the garden of a home.
  12. Slightly boring interlude but a little factual input.? So, to round up the Roadkill question. (Shame we haven’t any evidence to balance the subject, but I suppose it is what it is.) In the Americas they have the expected roadkill, deer, Foxes, badgers, Bobcats, cougars, jaguars, Lynx, bears etc so we can safely say these species are present. They don’t have Leopards, Lions or Tigers so we can safely say these aren’t present within the context of a viable population. In Africa they have the expected roadkill, antelope, Foxes, badgers, leopards, lions etc so we can safely say thes
  13. just shows how far down the path of destroying the NHS we have gone, labour MPs with dirty hands, always been a few but thankfully less than with the Tories.
  14. NHS underfunded, beds cut by the thousands, staff shortages, its just the reality of a third world country. You get what you vote for.
  15. Possible getting a little low on glucose so your body is increasing its dependence on using fats/protein to fuel your body, its what happens when runners hit the "wall" stores are finite.
  16. Indeed, reasonable common in Parkinson's disease and often with pregnancy but rarely in healthy individuals. Most is down to obesity leading to the onset of type two diabetes.
  17. Indeed, he doesn't have the answer because the question isn't truly valid. A. If you work on the premise there are big cats then there would be road deaths so the question wouldn't be asked. B. If you work on the premise that there are no big cats then why would there be road deaths? So how can one answer when one believes A but has B as a reality?
  18. Ah soon back to insults I see, shame when people are trying to have a decent conversation. I understand this challenges you and causes some uncomfortable feelings but life and new knowledge can be challenging. So, once again I have to ask the question for the simple fact that there hasn't been a valid answer. We aren't just on about America but every country with cats has the same problem so why don't we?? why does Spain, USA, India, Africa etc etc have road kill but not US?
  19. i'm young for me age..............................?
  20. Personally I tend to support individual cases rather than charities and offer pictures for auction when they fund raise, usually or kids needing equipment or such like and for a couple of sighthound rescues. Unfortunately charity has become big business, I'm sure many still do a good job and are important but i'll stick to doing my bit in my own way..
  21. The British Red Cross and the Geneva Convention emblem WWW.REDCROSS.ORG.UK The Red Cross emblem on a white background is a sign of protection under the Geneva Conventions. It is not a religious symbol.
  22. The simple answer for non diabetics No.
  23. For diabetics the spike in glucose can cause many problems but glucose is controlled in non diabetics, by insulin, so not a problem.
