Lion escaped from Private Keeper!

[Ssthisto]

I feel sorry for the lion.

Someone's pet and it's quite likely it'll just be killed.

[Nerys]

it has to be said, a lion is never going to be someones "pet"

part of someones collection yes, and no reason why the keeper/owner would not have a good bond with it.. but its never really going to be a "pet"

True - but you know what I mean all the same. An animal that's habituated to human contact and probably doesn't understand WHY people are frightened of her.

we were speaking to the guys at the CFZ, Cryptozoology Online: Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) - the world's best cryptozoology organisation - main page

they don't think its a lion it has to be said.. their opinion is its more likely to be a jungle cat of some type (ie savanah or something similar)

there is a bit of a lack of known private lion keepers in that area.. tho lets face it, the UK has more DWA animal keepers than there are DWAL holders.. so not impossible..

the area has a very few houses and large gardens, i wouldnt be suprised if its been an escapee for ages with the woodland and amount of livestock. But people i personally know have seen 'something'.

[Nerys]

there are lots of sightings up and down the uk yes

Big cat monitors. The UK website dedicated to big cat sightings.

is another site looking at them

my ex and his fishing mates have seen stuff round the ringwood lakes area in hampshire, here in lincolnshire we have whats said to be a puma living locally..

all good fun

(adds info, for those thinking.. "eh??")

Artemis (Gr.) / Diana (L) Goddess of the hunt and the moon/ Godin van de jacht en de maan.

One of the 12 Olympic gods, she was the Goddess of the hunt and of the moon. She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and twin sister of the God Apollo. She protected the hunters and the innocent. She is the well known virgin huntress of the Greek, the personification of chastity (NL: kuisheid). She is the earth goddess, with the task to protect the game, not it's destruction. Later she would stand for the lunar goddess LUNA (Selene), who was not so pure. Her attribute with respect to the latter is the moon sickle, which she wears on her forehead (see picture above). She is often depicted with her dogs chasing an animal together and with her bow and arrows (see picture above)
