I’d drive to the Lake District, north Pennines, kielder forest, Forest of Dean & snowdonia to release them into the wild with all the other big cats roaming our countrysides. Theres more than enough deer, pheasant & rabbits etc they can live off. They deserve to be free, walking miles each day and living their lives. Hats off to this gentleman for looking after them all though. 👏🏼
Unfortunately apart from the lynx, those species are native. But I do recommend watching something on rewilding. Putting cats back into the wild, their native habitat. It should be the answer
Thankyou for your reply, Puma, lynx & leopard are sighted regularly all over the U.K, due to the DWA act 1976 people who owned them released them into the wild. It’s common knowledge. A small population of big cats, the majority of them being the melanistic leopard are said to be breeding and thriving here in the uk. I’ve spoken with many farmers who admit they see them all the time and it’s common knowledge they’re out there in certain parts of the country. a lot of their cattle have been killed. Leopard DNA confirmed, this list goes on. Anyway, I think we should let them roam our forests 😊 like I say, there’s plenty of food out there for them.
@@bentaylor4490 The fact they could survive overlooks they will affect the native animals negatively (big cats livestock & pets also). The attitude is so selfish towards the native species at risk it beggars' belief, introductions have been the cause of many extinctions. But, hey, if it makes one person happy, those extinctions don't matter. As for claims of big cat populations, UA-cam is full of the evidence, and none found has any credibility. The DNA claim would need to be backed up with supporting evidence to dispel the probability it is planted from some facility like this one. It would be a challenge to find a more deluded collection of fools than those obsessed with pushing & believing this misinformation. A few interested persons do seem to be genuinely researching this, but their credibility gets lumped in with the wierdos. The possibility of one or 2 individual big cats is finite, like bigfoots and thylacines. But like these, the attention seekers and deluded predominate the search. Big cats are not difficult to locate, in fact in Britain they would likely make their presence very clear. Like the pet dogs that kill livestock do.
@@bentaylor4490there isnt one single bit of solid evidence to support your statement. If we had these big cats you mentioned and the numbers your suggesting we would have signs of them everywhere, and they are easily filmed clearly with well positioned trail cams but all we have is grainy footage of obvious domestic cats, if you saw one of these big cats in a field from any distance there would be no mistaking it from any domestic cat, this subject is full of hoaxers and people who dont know what they are looking at. I was on a walk with a few friends in the lakes when a deer broke from cover about 100 yards away from us one of the party was sure it was a big cat we had seen until another friend from the back showed us his phone video, if he hadnt of had it hed still to this day swear it was a puma 😂
The desire to have rare/different pet cats also enables these cats to escape into the wild or breed with feral/strays. This can introduce more predatory types into the wild environment to damage the remnant native ecosystem. Someone's egotistical whim results in extinction risk.
