There's loads of those sorts of things strolling round the UK. You're always hearing stories on the news.

I'm quite please actually- adds a bit of spice to an otherwise dull walk in the country.

Cheers,
James

do you carry a big gun then james?


tks - 16/6/05 at 01:05 PM

James are you mad?

an puma measures 1meter 60.. and has 70cm of tail..

the experts says if you confrontate with the animal and give it a bit of chock, you cant be sure of your life....

police says..

to be able to use our 'drug/sleep' rifle we need to be as close as 40meters to the puma, thats an dangerous distance....

an puma can travel 100Km/day if he wants.. image where it could be since yesterday..

or prepare an door with the piece in between//pull rope trick...

100Kms a day, it wont take long to get to Spain. You better watch out TKS!!! It could be after you.

So we have one advantage in UK - protection from non-swimming europuma's. (Oh sh1t - just remembered, the bloody french tunnel!!!!!)

If he makes it to U.K. he can come and hunt wallabies in the Peak District. It's weird when you spot one of them looking like a big hare or rabbit, totally takes you by surprise.


theconrodkid - 16/6/05 at 04:07 PM

told you to lay off them spotted mushrooms pete
we got deer,monkjacks,rare owls,birds of prey,african greys and umpteen parakeets....and i live in london


rusty nuts - 16/6/05 at 09:01 PM

Sounds very much like the Fen Tiger to me. Have seen a large cat on the outskirts of Cambridge , they do exist.

a couple of scrapyard owners in wales , had to release thier 'guard dogs' because of the new laws involving rare animals .

a couple of big cats got released onto the brecons !!!

it wasnt funny as i was staying in lampeter at the time

We have five of those beasts roaming round locally here in Fife. When we go down the local trails on the quad you see stacks of deer and hares. I have seen foxes recently.
A while back I saw a lurcher chasing a deer, went after it and caught the injured deer and the dog.
The owner got away but we will find him.
The SPCA lad took the animals away and the deer was to badly injured to be rehab.
We have a problem locally with idiots who think killing every thing that moves is fun
Plenty of wildlife around if you travel about in the very early mornings as I do when on call.

I've recently taken an interest in this topic. About twice a year, a big cat story makes it to the local news here. They're often accompanied by very shaky amateur footage and the "experts" say there is nothing to scale the cats against and that they are probably just feral cats.
There is a huge feral cat problem down here and the animals can get quite large, so I sort of went along with that theory. That was until I saw a short vid recently of a bloody great black cat sniffing at the carcase of a dead lamb that was lying in the back of a Toyota Trooper pickup. The cat's front paws were hooked over the sides of the pickup and it wasn't even at full stretch. Some domestic cat! It was Wolfhound size and when it slunk away when some idiot disturbed it. The foot prints it left were wider than the farmer's size 10 or 12 wellies.
Some "experts" concede that some big cats were left behind on various occasions by a circus or even a military mascot is another pet theory, but they say the cats couldn't survive for long in the wild. Bullspit!
There's plenty of edible wildlife abounding here and the temperature and climate are no different to the conditions found at any of the open air zoos and safari parks where the big cats seem to survive OK. Do they really think the weather worsens as soon as the cats get on the other side of the wire?
