| The evidence for the presence of large exotic cats in the Bodmin area and their possible impact on livestock | |
| 1995 Full Book | |
This is a report on the investigation into the possible presence, and potential impact on livestock, of "big cats" in the Bodmin Moor of Cornwall. The study was carried out on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) between 12 January and 1 July 1995. The investigation could not prove that a "big cat" is not present. However, the investigation received no verifiable evidence for the presence of a "big cat". Only four cases of possible predation were reported in six months and there was no evidence for "big cats" being involved in these. There is no significant threat to livestock in the Bodmin area. |
