It's August, and big cats are on the prowl
|
||
By Alan Hamilton
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ROUND up the sheep. Pull on the gauntlets. Oil the shotgun. The British
|
||
countryside is crawling with pumas, black panthers, fen tigers and other big,
|
||
vicious cats. No corner of the nation is safe. Evidence released yesterday,
|
||
including sightings, photographs, paw prints, livestock kills and hair
|
||
samples, claims to prove that every county has big cats lurking in its
|
||
undergrowth, poised to pounce on man and beast alike.
|
||
|
||
Sightings have reached record levels in 2002, according to Daniel Bamping,
|
||
founder of the British Big Cats Society, which in the past 12 months has
|
||
received more than 800 reports of big cat sightings.
|
||
|
||
<20>During the first six months we have seen an incredible amount of big cat
|
||
activity. We have now had reports in every single county; the response from
|
||
the public has been fantastic,<2C> Mr Bamping said. <20>Big cats in Britain are
|
||
real. They are out there, they are breeding; there<72>s more of them.<2E>
|
||
|
||
Scotland and Gloucestershire are said to be hotspots of big cat activity. Mark
|
||
Fraser, who heads the society<74>s Scottish arm, said: <20>Lynx are now present in
|
||
the Scottish countryside; I believe they are established and breeding. I don<6F>t
|
||
want to hazard a guess at the numbers; suffice it to say there are several
|
||
hotspots, notably Fife, Aberdeenshire, Inverness and the Borders.<2E>
|
||
|
||
Next month the society plans to unveil its full dossier of evidence, which
|
||
includes two dead wild cats, pictures of paw prints and tree scratchings, as
|
||
well as stories of a horse strangely lacerated in West Wales and a man in
|
||
Gravesham, Kent, who had to beat a hasty retreat to his garage after his hand
|
||
was cut by a creature the size of a labrador dog, except that it had black
|
||
hairy tufts on the tips of its ears.
|
||
|
||
The society is taking the sightings seriously. It plans to set up a network of
|
||
trigger-cameras throughout the country to capture further evidence of the
|
||
beasts, which it will then present to the Government.
|
||
|
||
It is not, however, clear on what it wants the Government to do about it all.
|
||
Throwing its weight behind the pro-hunting lobby might be a start.
|
||
|
||
Next in August: record abductions by aliens.
