Would be surprised mate and I did speak to a couple of people who had lost cats up there and they were more mutilated than eaten, the official government report said it was fox’s but the people involved said it wasn’t and the police were just shirking there responsibility by blaming fox’s, bit of a mystery that one??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 24,892 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 The worst one I ever had was in a scrap yard dog stuck it’s head in an old car and came out with a cat wrapped round her head, all four sets of claws and teeth stuck in, mind you we were still legal on everything back then and she was equaly as hard on fox and pigs so her face was a bit of a patch work by the time she passed, plus I was young and at it every day so probably had about 5 modern lifetimes worth of work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
