Lion loose in Essex UK, residents told to stay indoors

just dismiss the photos as fake, witnesses as nutjobs, job done.

I thought it was an German Shepard, my 12 year old thought it was a wolf, we both agree it doesn't look like a lion in the face. But at the same time it's so dark it's difficult to tell what it is.

This was spotted in st osyth, it could have been a lynx or something, from another time. Stranger things have happened there over the years

How many newspapers and news channels reported this?

Jeez, there is nothing like checking out your sources.

Still, they never learn

Somalian Zulu's spears incoming!.

wherewolf

Yes it is

Why the hulabaloo?

Seems lots of people in Britain were following the story

The story and the way it was carried out just seem BIZARRE

Something just doesn't feel right around it

This is an interesting story too...



I can't explain why i'm pointing it out, but something just is not right

Look at the first picture of the dad and son

His t-shirt reads "Keep Calm" with a crown above it

I just think it's bizarre lol

Technically the 'lion' is still on the loose

how much money was that a waste to the tax payer. helicopters police pay. another worthless uk story

Someone needs to teach the people of Essex the difference between a 6-7 inch tall domestic cat and a nine feet long lion.

confirmed as an authentic photo but does nothing to prove it as a lion.

photoshoped. wise to believe a picture?

confirmed by who, it wise to believe little unless you yourself research the picture.

Guy who saw it was on radio news, said it didnt look like a lion, but was about the size of 2 goats

Reads like code. That's pretty much what "news" is, this one's just more blatant.

Hmm its all very strange!

This isnt the first time we have had rumours of big cats on the loose.

What ever happened to the big cats on the moors?

same time of the year
