I currently have 2 staff members there out on multiple stations so they can chase the details up.



I'm going to cut you off there, its clear you are getting triggered and are trying to make a point of being the resident "expert" or some such thing, the article is as above, kimberly/nt same s**t different bucket, like I said you are taking other peoples lives personally, its very obvious, and its kinda pointless and as stated before not here to debate and convince anyone, I am 100% affirmed in what I know, I don't need, want nor seek your approval, I can't help if its hitting a nerve for you so I won't take it personally, however its pointless jumping on your roundabout.

cheers.

Cool story ZaineB.I know what I saw clearly in torch light.I did not have time to place it on scales and weigh it.Big cats have been shot and bought in by hunters and the government response is a reasonable :It must of been a pet:No authority wishes to accept there are large cats getting around in the bush.On the DVD I was sent I remember footage of a large black cat running down a good size roo.Pictures as clear as.Another one where a large cat is at the back fence and you can see the washing line and it just saunters into veiw and then turns and goes back up the hill.This is before photo shopping and stuff.Calm down a bit or this thread will be blocked and its a good one even though I get your point.I also fail to see the logic in making it up and your story you have a heap of independant witnesses that saw the same thing.

OK. Very surprising.

But are there private zoos about with big cats? Doubt it.

So the suggestion was that family members have spent more time in the bush than I have. I simply stated what my experience has been.

I would not call people liars for what they have seen. Indeed, where there are multiple witnesses then that even better evidence.

But there are also people, for whatever reason, tell porkies and others see what they want to see.

Do I believe there could be big cats or whatever out there that are not feral cats? Maybe. I am open to the evidence. And I would be one of the first to be there trying to find evidence

Well done team on toning it down.I will add this.If the cat we saw was 5kg I doubt my ex infantry mate and his son would of wound up the windows and locked the van.Yes I used a van for Kangaroo shooting it was a Mitshibishi L300 4x4 I was given for free and I had to chemiweld it every 6 weeks or so but it went good and I made a rail out of flat bar that went from the sliding door to the back and then to behind the drivers seat.The bonus was if I did an allnighter in Busselton I could drive back to Roelands with 25 30 animals hanging in the back and you could not see them even If I stopped for fuel.The windows were all tinted.Once I had loaded out I would park uphill on the drive and hose it out
