So how should we arm ourselves if we go to Gloucester? Is a 12 bore with rifled slug enough or do we need a Holland and Holland big game double rifle? I think I'll take a Howdah Pistol along as well, just to make sure!

I heard that Simon king, Jonathan Scott and Saba Douglas-Hamilton have gone down there to shoot the next series of Big Cat Diary. |

I know what TS Eliot would say -
Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw-
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!  |

Watched a program the other day about a "big cat" attack on a boy in 2000 in wales.
Boy attacked by "panther'' in South Wales
Saturday, August 26, 2000
LONDON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Welsh boy Joshua Hopkins was nursing cuts and scratches on Saturday after a big cat, believed to be a wild panther, attacked him in a field near his home, police said overnight.
Gwent police spokesman Adrian Herne said Joshua, 11, was clawed and bitten after being mauled as he played in long grass in Trellech, South Wales.
``He had long claw scratches to his face and injuries to his head after the encounter with the animal,'' a police spokesman said.
Joshua was shaken but not seriously injured and managed to run home, Herne said.
``The animal had blood on its jaws and its breath smelled as if if had just eaten something like a rabbit,'' Joshua was quoted as saying in The Mirror tabloid.
``Then it got my head in its jaws and bit me. I was terrified and thought it was going to kill me.''
Gwent police called in wildlife expert Danny Nineham, who examined Joshua's injuries and said the cat was most likely an immature black leopard, or panther.   |
