"It's like the whole 'beast of bodmin' thing in this country too. They think that's what it is, and it just turns out to be a feral dog. Honestly, some people can't just accept the simple truth"
Yeh, they're actually wild Puma's/Jaguars/etc.
That, Z, is called a 'Fact'.

And what do you base that on?
I'm not saying that the possibility is overuled, it just seems odd that, in this day and age, with such expert tracking, very effective animal traps, and so on, that we're incapable of catching such a beast. The fact that, as well as the fact they don't appear to exist, some feral freak dog turns up that seems to be the culprit, then where's the fact? If it's presumably this dog thing, where's the puma? Not anywhere. It's ridiculous that such a large predator could even survive for any reasonable length of time in this country, seldom never being seen, nor any evidence whatsoever of ever being found. There'd be dung or something, and these animals live within certain territories, and don't run off away as soon as we lay a trap.
I'd be more liable to believing such stories if any actual
evidence appeared, apart from what a single drunk redneck or bum has to say. I've never seen or heard of any whatsoever, so apart from seeing such a dog or whatever at a distance, I can't think of anything that would make people think there's some 5 foot beast crawling around.
