Big Cat Filmed In Herefordshire

http://www.themorningstarr.co.uk/2009/12/17/big-cat-filmed-in-herefordshire/<br /><br />A large black cat has been filmed prowling across fields in rural Herefordshire this week.<br /><br />Steve Hall from Hereford contacted the Hereford Times yesterday when he managed to to capture video footage of a large black cat resembling a panther crossing farmland near Newtown Crossroads.<br /><br />Steve was out with his friend Dave Went walking their dogs when they spotted the beast.<br /><br />“It was just walking across the hedge and then it saw us and sat in the hedge a bit watching.” Steve said.<br /><br />“I thought I saw one a few years ago but I wasn’t too sure as it was dark, but this footage proves they are local. It was far too big to be a domestic cat.”<br /><br />There have been numerous sightings of big cats stalking the Herefordshire countryside, but not for many years.<br /><br />“I go out all the time in the countryside and know the difference between a cat and a dog,” Mr Hall told the Times.<br /><br />“This was definitely a big cat.”
