Hi All,

Good news for those who are admirers of big cats. I just saw
this on my Yahoo interface to the Associated Press.

Good for the big kitties!

LONDON (AFP) - There is "little doubt" that
significant numbers of big cats such as pumas
and lynxes are roaming the British countryside,
with more than four sightings of such beasts
reported per day, a campaign group said.

The British Big Cats Society (BBCS), set up to
compile evidence that such beasts live wild in the
country, called for a government-run scientific
study of population numbers.

Unveiling the results of its own 15-month survey
which recorded more than 2,000 sightings, the
society concluded that there was "little doubt that
big cats are roaming Britain".

"The evidence has been growing and is
increasingly clear," BBCS founder Danny
Bamping said.

"We are now going to approach the proper
authorities to ask for their support in
undertaking a properly-funded scientific study
on the big cats in Britain."

As do I, but the living wild in the UK is *not* the place any large cat should
be.

As a result, before the law came into
effect, it is beleived that some private owners released their animals
into the
wild rather than the animal be euthanised or end up in someone else's
zoo
here
in the UK or abroad.


This I don't understand. Why would they not want them to end up in another
zoo where they would have been looked after properly? Or maybe I could
understand if they couldn't be sure whether they would be euthanised or
sent
to another zoo. But still. You'd think public awareness of the dangers of
letting out non-native animals into the wrong environment would be at a
level where no-one would dream of doing it. Obviously not. Just the other
day, there was another hit on a mink farm here in Finland, and thousands
of
minks were let out. Personally, I think farming animals for their fur
should
be banned, but this is not the right way to go.



There were also cases where folks got themselves a big cat
because it was "cute" - then just abandoned it when it got
too big/aggressive/awkward to look after.
