Another article on the West Wales situation. This one has a photo of the footprint left by the sheep ripper. That is a dog track.

Dairy farmer John Mathias said "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. I also saw it carrying a big lamb in its mouth across my yard. It left a paw print in the slurry, and it was the width across of my glasses."

Mark Fraser, founder of the research group Big Cats in Britain, said: "Without examining the carcass itself, it's impossible to be 100 per cent certain that a big cat is responsible for these killings. "However, the evidence does suggest that is the most likely explanation. The way the predator has peeled back the skin of the sheep to eat the flesh is very much a cat trait - only cats do that. And one of the paw prints looks very much like that of a big cat - I've seen puma prints very similar. The way that the toes are more splayed out suggests it's from a big cat."

Dolts. It's a dog killing your sheep.

Looks like a black dog to me. There's nothing in this blurry, distant video that conclusively indicates that it's a cat.

That was my thought - I couldn't tell much about the video, but the rolling, size and tail carriage looked a little more like a dog than a cat, from what I could see.

Animal specialists at nearby Marwell Zoo were enlisted by police to offer advice and were prepared to send a team with tranquiliser darts to overcome the tiger.


The stuffed toy is being treated as lost property John Pullen, curator of mammals, said: "We offered advice to the police and we immediately gathered a team of staff who have been trained to deal with situations such as this.

"We were moments away from making the journey when we received a call from police to say it was a stuffed toy.

pure unadulterated class
thanks
:D
 
I've been tempted to fake up a couple of pics using our Bengal, Leonard, as a leopard stand in. However he refuses to cooperate.
 
No big cats in Scotland? There's flocks of 'em, apparently. In Sutherland this time!

Police are looking into the possibility that the sheep may have been attacked by a large cat, due to the nature of the injuries.

Traces of catnip found on the corpses.

OH SNAP! They have Giant black bears in England? Considering that is a full grown cougar at the base of the tree, the bear must be huge.

I've seen lion, leopard and cheetah kills. I've never seen any of those cats peeling back the skin when eating on a carcass. Where did this "fact" come from?

Black bears will banana peel an Elk carcass.

Cougars will typically excavate a hole in the rib cage and eat the liver.

Blatant appeal to authority.

You don't expect us to believe that a mere undergraduate research fellow from the University of Montana's knows more about cougar kills than Mark Fraser, founder of the research group Big Cats in Britain.
 
Toy tiger shows how we fool ourselves

In May, police were sent to find a tiger that had been spotted in Southampton which turned out to be just a toy. The story quickly became a joke, but it also shows how our natural capacity to fool ourselves by making false connections leads to belief in woo-woo.

By the time HIGNFY made a joke about the police response, it was well known that it was only a plush toy (the story begins at 4:48): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPbQ3cAaVIM

However (at 6:16), the police department declared that "We sent some local officers and they confirmed they were looking at it and it was looking at them".

This is much like how Percival Lowell believed that he saw canals on Mars because he was looking for canals based on his understanding of Camille Flammarion's misinterpretation of the writings of Giovanni Schiaparelli. It is very easy for us to "see" what we expect based on our assumptions, and therefore we can lead ourselves to believe something that isn't true.
