No mate it’s just a way to reach out to people as far as I know, the more people that come forward and talk about it the more it encourages others to do the same, because as a lot of them will say they were mocked and ridiculed if they talked about it, it also seems to be bringing people out that have some evidence but don’t know what to do with it, Rick minter pays for a lot of the stuff including dna tests from his own pocket, the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester is also a very very top end establishment that does a lot of work on the subject with us, I don’t think they would be involved if we were just a bunch of lying lunatics 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know if this is close to you mate it’s a photo not a link mind but you may find it of interest, maybe even get some pointers for your own cameras 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not mocking you but I know folk who claim to have seen ghosts, even mates lie. Yes.. i know where you're coming from mate. Some people freely spew bullshite whithout giving it a second thought. I've know a few of them over the years i can tell you!! I've actually been told of 3 other sightings. A bunch of site lad's returning home in the works van apparently had a black Leopard cross the road in front of them. Seen by all 5 of them from the crew cab. A woman walking her dog... again 'apparently' watched a big cat with 'tufted' ears stalking a covey of Partridge. And the third is another black Leopard but i didn't get any other details on this. I actually know this person... and i'll bump into her (yes another woman) at some point. Obviously nothing above is concrete at all. It can't be can it. All they are are reports. Nothing more, nothing less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 3,760 Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Rusty, one did go missing in Wales... and it killed 7 sheep. It got shot. https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/mid-wales/2017/11/08/lynx-which-escaped-mid-wales-wildlife-park-has-killed-seven-sheep/ Also, another Lynx at the Zoo died.. apparently it got strangled in one of those capture pole things with the noose on the end. See my post on page 354. It was just a coincidence, my sister's sighting was in April 2018, the escapee Lynx in the article above was November 2017. Just wondering.. when a cat dies in a zoo, such as the one mentioned above.. does the zoo have to provide the authorities with any actual proof of it's death?? Genuine question.

BEARINATOR 2,825 Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 If a dwa animal goes missing then you have to inform the licensing council, and they will tell you to inform the authorities if it is dangerous enough.

Yes the numberis zero. No legally held big cats escaped and went unaccounted for or wolves for that matter. An ex captive cougar was caught in Scotland many year sago. If any amount were released then the majority would have been seen as they would have little fear of man, no hunting experience and no territory so would have likely wandered into trouble etc. The idea that a big cats are secretly wandering around is ..........

Legally held dangerous animals can’t escape without the relevant people being notified, even when they die in captivity the body must be taken away, but there is a growing trade in illegal cats in Eastern Europe, worth looking into how many get seized by customs each year to see if there is a black market for them here, don’t know, i,went out last night and put some cameras up in an area that has had sightings in may and June for at least the last 3 years and were I caught an arse end last year so maybe I,ll get a holy grail shot over the coming weeks who knows, seems to bother some people with no interest more than me 1 Link to post Share on other sites
