Complete account re sightings of big cat predators in Britain.
The author of Big Cats, Rick Minter, challenges skeptical views concerning big cats roaming wild in the British countryside. The evidence he draws on comes from respected reports. Many witnesses work daily in the countryside and who by nature are sceptical are convinced such creatures live and hunt in Britain’s woods and fields and roam Britain’s hills and moors. Photographs, detailed discussions of the hunting methods and remnants of kills, are very persuasive evidence. Many sources contribute to a fascinating and convincing thesis. Rick Minter’s research is extensive. In a way the book is like reading an absorbing detective story, a gradual gathering of facts which accumulate into a strong case that pumas, lynx, panthers, “Bodmin beasts”, are not mere fantasy or eccentric nightmares but creatures of flesh and blood. An excellent read for any one who has an open mind or even a closed one – the latter might be surprised.
