BCC EP:103 The spectre at the stables – big cats bothering horses

We hear Sue’s experience after 10 years’ worth of big cat
sightings and incidents around her stables in Essex.


Her daughter and sons have had close sightings, and in one of
Sue’s encounters she was next to a black panther in the stable
yard at dusk.


Sue describes some severe impacts on two of the horses after
close confrontations with a big cat, and she explains the ongoing
extra costs she is faced with in feed and vets’ bills, managing
the stables alongside the varying visits of big cats.
