A panther or other large cat is being blamed for a series of livestock attacks in Wales.
Police discovered a paw print at the site of one of the attacks and local residents have reported sightings of a large black creature in the area. "“About 100 yards away from me, I could see its green eyes, there was no mistaking it for another animal. It looked like pictures I've seen of panthers in the wild," one witness stated.
The beast, described as a large jet-black animal similar to a panther, is being blamed for a series of deaths of cattle and sheep in Pembrokeshire in recent weeks.

Can't tell whether this was a comment with some personal sentiment to it, or just someone being cheeky, but historically he's absolutely correct. In times of british conquest by sea, englishmen brought with them and nicely spread around the globe all sorts of animals that were fine and native to England and Europe, but completely unknown and alien to other places of the world they've visited. Rats, mice, cats, dogs, pigs, even animals like deer or pheasant so royal pricks could have their 'joy time' hunting them down, they all traveled with the sailors, intentionally or unintentionally is irre...

Oh right by that logic, let's make slavery legal for white people cause it's our turn....... like I and a lot of my fellow Brits would have done that, that's like having a go at modern Germans for Hitlers actions. It was uncalled for a small minded comment to make. In fact while I'm at it I'll go and destroy half of England for centuries ago when they raped, murdered and took everything from my Scottish ancestors... The past is the past and anyone with half a brain can tell that most British people in this day and age wouldn't do something like that. People are educated now and have more moral... [More]

I don't play WOW..... I've never played MMORPG's or whatever...... I couldn't even read your messages, so it's ironic that you are telling me to switch my brain on. My point in he is saying that the people of Britain are getting what they deserve because of somehting that happened generations ago... That doesn't make sense and by that "logic" is the equivalent to what I said.

Up until the 70's in the UK, big cats and other exotic pets were legal. When the ban happened, most were released into the wild.

Up until the 70's in the UK, big cats and other exotic pets were legal. When the ban happened, most were released into the wild. Exotic pets were not banned in the UK in 1976, the keeping of them became subject to licensing under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976. It is accepted that some captive big cats (and other exotics) were released into the wild by their 'owners' rather than comply with the law.

LMFAO,sorry about the cows and loss of income but this is getting past even interesting .Somebody is killing the cows and somebody knows who or what is doing it . I can even consider a werewolf, hehehe, a werewolf doing it, at least it would make it more interesting. Has been going on for years and can't be just random acts of animal violence.
