Witness Comments

Thank you, I have been very impressed by the courtesy shown by your members and I will be vigilant when I am on my travels as I feel it is only a matter of time before there is some sort of incident.

Hi
It sounds like a well thought out and professional organisation. I'm happy to share more but sadly no photographs yet. I caught a possible sighting again this evening of a dark catlike movement but at night time with night vision equipment.
Is there any funding yet into research into big cats in Scotland? Definitely interested in your conference and I would also be keen to see any field reports from the Scottish Borders etc.
Best wishes, David

We would like to stress that when reporting a sighting, your confidentiality is of the utmost importance if that is your wish. Also the location of your farm or land will not be revealed. We are basically researchers and look for publicity in order to reach witnesses, only. We will not publish your sighting in any shape or form if you do not want it to be made public. We will not make judgement or ridicule a witness, there are some very strange things out there, things that the witnesses never asked to see. We are a sympathetic and understanding ear for those people.

Be very careful with prints before you approach the press. We will be happy to tell you what animal made the print first, to save frustration in the future. But we do ask that you will not be disappointed if the print is identified as that of a dog
