Where the wild things are!

The Kentish Express ran an article in July 2011 highlighting the various calls Kent police receive regarding strange animals. The image, taken from the article, written by James Scott, does, unfortunately make a mockery out of some of the more genuine reports of 'out of place' animals with mention of 'big cats', 'leopards', 'black cat', 'wild cat' an 'emu' and even a 'cheetah', making the article a complete farce. Although some large animals such as dholes, have escaped from zoo parks in the past, the countryside is not a haven for wolves, a cheetah or an emu! One can see why sightings of 'big cats' aren't taken seriously.
