Still Waters Posted September 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2019 A young black panther found prowling the roofs of a northern French town has been captured by emergency services. Astonished residents in Armentières near Lille gazed at the powerful feline walking along a second floor ledge and going in and out of an open window for nearly an hour on Wednesday. Police made a cordon in case it jumped while rescuers entered the building calmly so as not to shock the big cat. A vet was then able to tranquilise it with a dart. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49753154? 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seti42 Posted September 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Awww...Giant deadly kitten! Seriously though, I'm glad they caught it safely and I hope whoever was illegally housing it gets punished. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted September 20, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2019 They need to find who USED to own it and dart them too. Put THEM in a cage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the frog Posted September 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2019 At least, it didn't go loose in the wild. Stupid thing to own a big cat at home... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted September 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Latest.... A black panther rescued from rooftops near the northern city of Lille last week has been stolen from the zoo where it was taken after capture, officials said. The feline was seized overnight from the zoo in Maubeuge near the Belgian border, the city's mayor, Arnaud Decagny, told AFP on Tuesday. "This animal was the only target," Decagny said, adding that "considerable efforts" were made to force locks and avoid security systems.

+DieChecker Posted September 26, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Animal activists probably stole it, and likely just released it into "The Wild" just outside the city. See it all the time here in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
