I actually knew Ellis Daw, who ran the old Dartmoor Wildlife Park before 'we bought a zoo' Ben Mee took over. I also know people who have seen pumas locally.
The old Plymouth Zoo was in the city, so it's unlikely they escaped from there, Dartmoor Zoo (as it's now known) is a few miles away in the village of Sparkwell on the southern edge of Dartmoor.
I too, believe these animals were deliberately released into the wild and if there wasn't any other way
of dealing with these huge cats in a fashion that was deemed appropriate, I applaud the action -even
though I'm aware of the dangers.
As a side-note to the discussion of Ninurta's image, isn't it strange that the many sightings of big cats in
the UK are reported in the media in the same side-ways-look manner that the Loch Ness Monster issue is?!
It's like it is a mild joke that draws a smile, when in reality, we're talking about a real possibly-dangerous
animal that is roaming the countryside and the authorities refuse to admit the phenomena.
Our reality is skewed by the terrible media.
