Yes all very interesting mate...and for many years I thought the same....Big cats in Britain...load of bollox however in more recent years I'm more on the fence...the reason being is anecdotal evidence....when I've got people telling you they have seen one....and I don't just mean Karen from down the street but real countryman who've seen them....then I think maybe... Now it clear you don't like Greyman....but why would he lie....like the rest of us on here he's one of us....most of us on here are similar ages with similar views..we're all countrymen...not just him though...one chap I know has seen one ...dead in a farmers barn....it had been shot..and before it was disposed of he went over to have a look... Remember Simmoman....if I remember right he seen one very up close and personal.... 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean Greyman who is a supposed countryman posted a video of a moggie on the railway lines, and by reference I know full well it wasn't a big cat because I know the guage measurements of our tracks. I'm sorry if I don't take anecdotal evidence all too seriously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good point about the make Cheetah....cos out of all the big cats they seem quite easy to see...and of course they are more diurnal than nocturnal....I've seen one myself in the Krugar in RSA...an area the size of Wales and only 250 Cheetah there yet I saw one.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, according to Greyman and his pal, Rick Minter, we have a breeding population in the hundreds. I've always maintained that escapees are feasible, a breeding population in the hundreds is pure fantasy with zero evidence whatsoever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that's the same as believing others what they have seen. Again, humans are fallible, I mean one of our so called big cat experts mistakenly believed an ice-cream van was E.T FFS, these are the people who we are meant to believe?
