Video captures footage of 'big cat' in Gloucestershire

“It's quite funny to think they've found a 29 mm lizard but we can't manage to
see a load of big cats that are supposed to be on the loose!!

I have little faith in the 'experts' they bring in on anything, in my experience
the media will use anyone who backs up the story they want to tell, regardless
of whether it is the truth.”

No Chris, they don't look "black" at all, actually there are many shades of "black" but the "black" in "black panther" is a total misnomer, they are not truely black, brown and even by looking at the pictures in your url, it clearly shows brown, even the rosetts shown give the game away. Sorry, not black at all. Technically black is what your brain perceives when there is a total absence of reflected light. However when painting, artists often create their own blacks for shadows and such, by mixing a Primary colour and its opposite Secondary colour. (ie. Blue and orange) to create "shades" of black (and grey). This tends to give a painting more "life" as black is uncommon in nature. (from wiki.answers)

Ergo. When people say they have seen something such as a big cat, this is a term known as "scotopia" The eyes see what they believe, but the brain perceives and by completing the jigsaw of what was seen or even heard, the brain makes up a picture, but not always correct. To say that there has been more than 2000 plus sightings (according to the BCinB and other cryptozoology groups and the press), to say this does not mean that there are 2000 or more big cats wild free. By putting one person, ten people, a thousand or two thousand people all in a witness parade, then by logic alone, each person should have seen something different, just like when you see a rainbow, each person viewing it sees other colours and where it falls or starts etc. Ergo. How come the so-called sightings of these cats are always the same? Black, big, etc? The answer is simple. The brain precieves what it saw and made up a picture which it regonises, but in truth is not a fact or a truth but merely a scotopic vision.”

“Very interesting footage as we can see that this cat, measured as 3.5 feet long in the body and 2.5 foot long tail does not conform to our standard image of a large cat, because it is here in Britain and maybe adapted for this landscape. At that size it could be something like a female leopard, which is the most likely option from a scientific bases for a black cat of that scale.
Well done to Coryn Memory.”

“Countyboy,
you will note the negative indicators you're received for posting common sense, it's the way of it in here unfortunately but as it doesn't bother me one iotaand I suggest that you treat the practice with similar contempt. If I posted the weather forecast, I'd have half a dozen red arrows within minutes, such is the troll population in internet fora.
Those who ascribe to the "populist view" that non-indigenous cats are as likely to be present in the wilds of the UK as the Yeti are of course talking through their collective rear end whilst ignoring the cold hard fact that the cats have been FOUND in the UK for years.
It's really quite odd and I can only consider that they also belong to the 'flat earth society' and still gaze in awe at moving pictures on a thing called a 'tellyvidgun" ( sic) whilst trying to catch the little man responsible for switching the light on in their refridgerator when they open the door.”

“Thanks for the entertainment guys :D”

“Seems like even the Sun's own forum on this shows that the vast majority are saying (taken from the sun):

"I agree with others - this is fascinating news. Can't stay to comment more, I'm off to a meeting of the flat earth society with Lord Lucan and Shergar!
Saw a few pigs flying around recently, shame I forgot my camera...
hmmm, ....does Bear Grylls live anywhere close by. All joking aside my sympathy for the owner of the three wallabies :(
It's NOT a big cat it's a DOG! It moves like a dog.... This footage was filmed in 2010 btw!"

So Dave, are we all to believe that they too are wrong, have poor grammar and spelling, copy and paste is also what you do with your urls, therefore your cooments must also apply to yourself, you made some errors with plagiarism yourself. If your opinion Dave matters that much, then why not take it to the Sun newspaper, other press, to those zoo staff in Zoochat, to the members of ABWAK and BIAZA or if it troubles you so, then hark your opinion to Defra. I am sure they will listen, but they may not agree with you, afterall, they are professionals!”

“Apropos the 'irrefutable' evidence of 'big cat's currently roaming Gloucestershire and beyond, you may be interested to learn that this subject was as topical in the Cotswolds a century ago, when a few people claimed to have seen 'big cats' around here. If true, today's elusive 'beasts' may be just the latest generation of these historic sightings. We accept that the Romans almost caused the extinction of many wild animals in Africa by importing them into Europe. Why not extend the debate by accepting they not only introduced rabbits into Britain, but big cats as well, descendants of which have been sneaking around ever since? If TIG allowed the submission of blog pictures I'd provide 'irrefutable' evidence of the disquiet the 'tail-end' of all this was creating around here a century or more ago; but earlier than that, I'm afraid the facts become as elusive as the beasts are today.”

“Dave, your ego headbutting is doing you no favours, by lambasting me and others, all you are doing is showing us all that you enjoy it. Everyone has opinions, we all have a voice and many like sharing their views and thoughts. But that does not give you the right to mock, to infere, to be vexatious or even to put your opinion and say its the right opinion. You need to chill and get with the programme, rather than belittle everyone, why not join in with valued voice and not hark away like a spoilt school boy. If you fancy the challenge, then why not voice and vex your opinion of those in the Sun newspaper forum, or to give it to those zoo staff in Zoochat, or ABWAK, or to rise up and say it to those in Defra. If you don't like what people say, then please don't post!”

“"The problem Dave IS that you have neither PROVED or DISPROVED anything. You have merely voiced - at great length, copying and pasting stuff off the internet like a man possessed - YOUR OPINION"


ROTFLMAO !!!

NOTHING funnier than a hypocrite struggling !!!

Tragic but funny nonetheless. :)”
