Tyrone Peter, sightings used to be pretty regular 15 or 20 years ago.

For a small place like NI there was supposed to have been a fair few private collections of big cats.

Getting stuck in is not the issue. Becoming unstuck is lol.

She'd come unstuck alright but it wouldn't stop her from trying, she's the heart of a lion

And that's all that counts. Without heart, you have nothing.

It would of been about that many years ago when I heard about there been plenty of sightings of escapees an people buying them and releasing them when they realised how hard they were to keep

In your own opinion dogmandont, do you think their up there.  Ireland's a small island, they could and should have moved more across the island by now.

Fossits circus had a yard up the back roads near me, we're they used to spend the winter, an I remember as a kid a fella that was a pure spoofer saying they used to sell them dogs to feed to the big cats, so I didn't believe a word of it, he said they would kill a dog in seconds but he said they put in a big doberman that was supposed to have put up a good scrap, I was in my mates house over the Christmas an his uncle was there and he's related to the Fossits, an he told the same story about the doberman

Didnt some fella stick his arm into one for the cages, and they got ripped off. 

Or I am thinking of some where else
