RECENT excitement over “big cat” sightings has prompted a university to carry out a survey.
Since the mutilated carcasses of roe deer and three wallabies were found on farmland near Stroud, Gloucestershire, speculation that big cats have made a home in the area has been growing.
Rural research experts, the Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI) based at the University of Gloucestershire, are determined to find out more about the phenomenon and are carrying out a survey to find out what local people think.
Dr Matt Reed, senior research fellow at the CCRI, said: “As a team of researchers who work a lot in rural communities over the years we have heard lots of accounts of big beasts.
“Now it seems that these accounts have become focused near our base and we have decided to take a closer look.“ To take part in the survey visit surveys.
