OK so my post was obviously said with tongue in cheek, but tell me Greyman, why would anyone with a true passion for these big cats, and the idea of their existence in the UK, give any statement to any newspapers? It does nothing for their cause, and makes them look like complete fools. I'm not talking about the idiots who take a photo of a cardboard cut out, but folks like you, who really believe they are out there.
Would you give a statement, if you were asked by the papers, using your knowledge on big cats, to confirm what was in a picture to be the real deal?
