I’m on the fence with this mate......take mink for example.....apparently a lot of them around but how may times have YOU seen them dead on the road....in the grand scheme of things I don’t see that many dead foxes as a result of rta .....if there is a small population just maybe.......just maybe..... 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen a dead mink local to me, you also have the fact that an animal the size of a big cat would stand out much more than something the size of a mink. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Right enough there mate..but as greb said below.they are a big animal..and if a single one was spotted as roadkill..social media would be plastered with pics..as sandy said...the odd escape now and again maybe..but a breeding population.i can't see that myself to be honest.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I get that....‘a dead mink’....but there are probably thousands of wild mink....there are thousands of otters too but I’ve personally only seen half a dozen rta’s.....like I say I’m on the fence .......how many cats have you seen squashed ? and there are hundreds of thousand roaming round busy roads......not that many......like I say I’m on the fence ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few, in fact I've ran over a poor cat myself. That's not really the point though, us on here are very few, I'm sure if it was put to a public poll there would be thousands saying they have seen cats killed by cars. You don't find it very strange that there's not one single picture of a big cat killed on our roads? Edited May 14, 2021 by Greb147 Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 3,759 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Wouldn't a big cat have bit more brains than the likes of a mink... and wait for the approaching headlights to pass before crossing?? Seen plenty of domestic moggies complying to the green cross code and that's been during the day time too. Just a thought!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't make sense, and I've seen enough, it's not something I keep count of, In fact on FB I'm forever seeing posts of moggies that have hit and killed. Link to post Share on other sites

Ah right mate, i didn't realise. Just thought a big cat would have more brains about it than most of the other critters further down the food chain.. Like a hedgehog for example... thick as f@@k!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I could use a few, good, men Pushing three and a half ton pages of bullshit and counter bollocks? What I'd like to do, see, is comb through this entire fukking torrent of mental vomit. Surgically slicing out each 'argument'. " Why No Bodies? " Then, search out and Record each answer. That done? I'd fukk off and make a web site where all this shit could be put. In a simple and orderly format Point is, it would save anyone A/ Asking the same questions that were asked fifty pages back. B/ Anyone having to repeatedly answer them. And, C/ Provide an easily searchable data base, without the crap and shit we could filter out. No arguments. No abuse. Just potted summaries of Questions and Answers. Any volunteers ready to step forward? Pick a typical question and search / record every single mention of it, in up to 350 pages? Screen grab it. Take it to Paint. Copy it. Crop it. Bring it back and file it. So on and so forth. I've done this with nearly two thousand images. Only, I had to Scan Those fukkers from paper, by hand, first. Anyone??? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
