Yeah, that photo maybe, but his other post comparing the sightings, numbers etc, of wallabies and big cats in britain, weak and silly.

Why is it weak and silly? there's a few isolated populations of wallabies in the UK, well known and filmed, if there were a few populations of big cats why aren't they also well documented and studied? Small populations of Pumas are studied in USA, Leopards in north Africa etc. How come ours are so elusive????

Because there isn't a large, thriving and breeding population of big cats in britain. 

A few pairings etc, over a few years, yes, more than feasible.  A thousand breeding pairs, NO.

And then you try to compare that to colonies of wallabies, that's just silly.

One last time as I really can’t stand you, but when a video is shown to experts in there field who conclude it’s a mountain lion and a man with a minge that couldn’t hack it as a brickie so became a nurse tells me they are all wrong I wonder which one I will take notice of, now excuse me if I don’t answer any more stupid questions but my three year old grandson has more important things to say

Once again when I challenge your lack of evidence you fall to insults, with ad hominem attacks, (appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect. an ad hominem argument. : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made) is THE last last stand of those without evidence. PLEASE TRY TO BE A LITTLE MORE GROWN UP.

Kin el, I think you need to 'follow the science' a bit less!!

But it would appear we are supposed to have hundreds of big cats which is a pretty big population.

i don't see any animosity towards greyman at all, i think if anything he starts throwing the insults when people question his evidence 

 

Perhaps I phrased it wrong, I meant the animosity in general on the thread

Cheers.

I just can’t stand anything about the bloke I,m afraid mate sorry

Because I challenge your fundamental beliefs and cause you cognitive dissonance +++, ( According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort) basically you know deep down there should be road kill in numbers, cubs found, video evidence etc etc and there isn't.....

Here’s an exert  from an article that mentions the forensic info both for and against the existence of large cats .

[sandymere 8,261]

If there were big cats in their hundreds there would be reams of evidence from the dead sheep littering the countryside, farmers shooting the feckers, insurance claims for damages etc...
