Panther on the loose in Antrim

kamobe

Police in Co Antrim are continuing their search for a Puma cat that has been on the loose since last Friday. A sighting of a large wild cat was reported at Baltoy road in Carrickfergus this morning. They are reminding the public not to approach it under any circumstances

Sighting of a 'large wild cat' - *sn1gger*

HOW does a panther end up strolling the streets?

PiE

Is it a Puma or a Panther? Puma is a kind of "mountain lion" afaik, wouldn't be too worried about her. But (if my memory of my dads old wildlife books serves me correct) a Panther can be anything from a Jaguar to a Tiger... which would be slightly more worrying.

Either way, roffle :]

All the animal names mentoned here are also names of either cars or tanks. Worrying.

If it's a zoo animal (and what else could it be) then it should be fairly tame towards humans, seeing as it would see, but not attack, them every day.

I waked out of work one day to see an elephand stroll down the road. It had wandered away from the circus in Tullamore. This country is crazy

I wonder if these stories are true at all, as there was supposidly one in my town aswell. I think its just some urban myth type practical joke thing.

The circus or zoo it originally belonged to may not want to own up incase they get into legal trouble.
Of course there's a good chance that it's a hoax... damn drunk country folk....

They say it's as big as four cats, and it's got a retractable leg so that it can leap up at you better. And do you know what, Ted, it lights up at night, and em, it's got four ears, two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back up ears... and its claws are as big as cups and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps and Mrs. Doyle was telling me it has magnets on its tail so if you are made out of metal it can attach onto you and instead of a mouth it has four arses.


I think the real culprit in Antrim is no other than.........FARGO DOYLE!








Hope somebody quotes the accusation with the reply we all laughed at.

ROFL!!

Anyone hear about the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig that's terrorising old farmers and cattle in south Galway for the past year?

Seriously!

Wook

i wished that black beast could come over to D15 to hunt some local knackers at nights, bite them in the balls or something.

There was a ~20 foot python loose a few months back. The owner went away on holiday, and when he came back it was gone. It hadn't been fed in 2 weeks.

eyewitness report?

Just couldnt resist.




Seriously(actually no) there were reports of a "Black Panther" where I live, and then reports it was shot,
then I heard it came back to haunt the person who shot it, etc.

Last I heard it was actually a small wild cat.
