@sjclassics Thanks Lol- have you had an experience with Big Cats in the UK? or the subject just something that intrigues you?

Hi Kirsty, a well done Documentary.

I have seen a wild black Leopard myself in the UK so I know they exist.

I'm currently filming a Doc on the subject, when finished will I'm sure cause major concern with the evidence I've found, as said well done.

Good documentary,but the last line says it all...Real....Substantial.....­Evidence....there is none,thats the crux of it,no footage thats pin sharp depite living in a HD era with 12 megapixel 1080i cameras etc,theres nothing,just words,hearsay etc,no proof and to be honest thats whats needed but lacking.

Kate Humble from the BBC who is a genuine wildlife expert blames the increase of big black cat sightings on the increasing number of melanistic fallow deer which can leap fences in a single bound etc just as these cats are purported to do.Theres no 100% factual pictoral evidence whatsoever to indicate leopards,panthers,jaguars or their ilk roam the country,case in point rutland pantherwatch operating for 20 years but no clear photographs,wheres the proof?

[HippieGirlClaire]

If its a fact that people released these animals from their homes, then its a fact they do exist in Britain. But they won't last long, because I seriously doubt two cats of the same species will live close enough to each other to breed and create more offspring.

@raspberrybaggio You're welcome : ) The very latest is that 3 wallabies were killed and their mutilated carcasses were found yesterday just 10 miles from the Woodchester Park case. This is a fenced off field as the wallabies are in a private collection and there were no signs of entry so whatever got in leapt over the fence. Something is going on here for sure.

@Nigelcf Thanks for the info. I will look forward to the results of that.

@raspberrybaggio Yes there was a mutilated deer found in Woodchester Park near Stroud last week, then a few days later a mutilated sheep was found in the Rendcomb area near Cirencester about 15 miles away. Tests are being carried out on the Woodchester Park carcass for big cat DNA which should be known by the end of the week.

@raspberrybaggio Sorry, it was Daily Star, not The Sun.
