From Big Cat Monitors -
By Paul Westwood
Big Cat Monitors.
On the ninth of June 2004 the Gazette & Herald based in North Yorkshire ran a story about a big cat that was knocked down and killed close to RAF Fylingdales.
The following is what I have managed to find out about the incident from extensive investigations.
The man who witnessed the incident works for a pharmaceutical company, which delivers drugs to local Veterinary clinics in the area.
After he had witnessing the event he called into a Veterinary clinic in Stanford Bridge.
He explained to the vet what he saw.
As he was approaching RAF Fylingdales on the North Yorkshire Moors, we saw a police vehicle parked next to a farmer's tractor. In the farmer's bucket at the front of the tractor was a large sandy coloured cat of the Puma variety. As he slowed down to a halt next to the vehicles to get a better look, he saw the police loading the cat into the back of their vehicle. At that moment a police officer walked over to him. The officer told him to keep his mouth shut as they don't want to alarm the public. With that, the driver carried on to Stanford Bridge.
I have made extensive investigations in to this incident. Most of which have drawn a blank.
The DEFRA laboratory near York has denied any knowledge of receiving the body of the cat. If the cat had been killed, it would seem that the most logical cause of action would be to take the body there, but if I am to believe DEFRA, then the body must be somewhere else.
The firm that employed the driver will not release his name or his whereabouts. He has told his employers that he does not want to talk about the incident.
In my experience, when one sees something like this, you naturally want to talk about it. Why else would he have told the Vet?
I would have to say that this person has been silenced by the police. The question is which force? Was it North Yorkshire police or RAF Fylindales police? The latter being the M.O.D police. The North Yorkshire constabulary have denied all knowledge. In fact it was said that the area commander for North Yorkshire got rather aggressive with a reporter from the Ryedale express when questioned about their involvement. The M.O.D. police have also denied all knowledge. In fact the Inspector at Fylindales asked me to report back if I discovered any relevant information.
I was soon to realise that it must have been the M.O.D. police who were involved.
I paid a visit to Fylindales a few weeks after the incident. The police at the gatehouse told me that it was a bus that had knocked down the cat. How do they know this if they were not involved? I would say that if a large cat was killed close to RAF Fylindales, then it would be the M.O.D. who would be the first to respond.
The question is, why have they covered it up?

Perhaps it was rabid and they didn't want to start a panic? That does sound really bizarre....why a 'cover up' over a dead animal?

I suppose big cats aren't native to the UK and a lot of people would have panicked.
Our Government has only recently admitted to ABCs in the outskirts of Sydney.
I think because the number of encounters had grown so much they wanted to cover their own a** if someone was attacked.

I've always found these coverup things a bit silly. If people would panic at hearing of a big cat on the loose, imagine how ticked off they would get if they learn about it through hearing that it ate somebody's kid!

this seems odd as most people are aware that big cats may be loose in the uk
so why cover it up, people already know...

hmm, interesting. well i can see how they wouldn't wanna expose something liek that, that's like admitting a lion is aloose in a school, and plus they get to save face, and not cause a public hysteria, but at th rick of peoiple getting injured, and teh cats going unrecognized/unprotected bcuz u can't protect what doesnt' exist. so it's a win-win-lose-lose kinda thing.

Most people may have heard the rumors, but how many actually believe them.
To have a dead body shoved in their faces is making them have to ask themselves some serious questions about the unknown.

I don't know why the Government would choose to still ignore the proven facts about Big cats living and breeding in the UK? Perhaps they feel they would have to invest money into protecting the species and an ongoing program like that would be an expence they just don't want.
Does anyone kknow who is behind the re-introduction of Wolves back into the UK?

I don't see why everything has to involve some kind of cover-up. There's no reason for it. Maybe this is a fake story? How about that? Maybe they deny any knowledge because nothing happened?

WOW! I haven't heard that they have admited that there are big cats living here. About time too.

I'm actually beginning to wonder whether we should call them "alien big cats" because they aren't native to Britain, or whether we should literally call them ALIEN black cats.
That's because I was reading a book in the library today talking about the mystery cats that roam Britain, and the author pointed out some very strange facts about them.
He said that lots of people report seeing puma-like cats that are able to jump huge distances and great heights that aren't possible for a normal cal of that species. A woman somewhere in England reported that she tending to her horse in a field when, all of a sudden, she saw a big cat, black like a panther, jump over the top of both her and the horse!
Other people have reported seeing a strange black cat that haunts a woodland area. A man said that one night he saw a puma-like cat walking out of the woods towards him, but its eyes glowed green and it walked only on its two back legs! When it reached him, it started to attack him, scratching at his face.
Also, many people who have seen ABC's in England have said that they have noticed that their dogs suddenly go wild and bark furiously and the big cats that are enar them, although the response of dogs when they normally see pumas or other big cats is not to bark and go crazy.
The author also reported something that should be obvious - that there are hardly any bodies of dead big cats found in Britain (there are some, but they are nowhere near enough that you would expect considering the amount of sightings made each year).
Another curious phemomenon is the fact that most reports are of adult ABC's - there are hardly any young cats or cubs reported.
So are ABC's something more sinister and mysterious and not normal cats, after all? I think some of them are, but some do seem to be "not of this world."

There is no doubt a lot of exaggeration in the telling of some of the stories, as well as numerous made up encounters. The author of that book probably just wanted to make it sound more exciting.

Maybe they simply didn't want throngs of ogling idiots coming up the road, hoping to spot a big kitty, clogging traffic, and creating a general nuisance.

The police don't need to disclose information on big cats, they are police, they police. If you want information about wild life in the UK you should try talking to the local biologist or just going camping for a few weeks. Im sure that "big cats" are in the UK, you have rabbits, squirrels, and other animals which they normally prey on so they could survive in your environment.
