CFZ PEOPLE: Lars Thomas URGENT

1As regular readers of the CFZ Bloggo network will be aware. Jeanett Thomas (48) has been missing for over a month. Her husband, our old friend Lars Thomas, has been on Danish TV, and the story has been on the front page of the biggest Danish newspapers.

Appeals for information have proliferated across the Internet and the cryptozoological community has rallied around. All we can do is repeat that:

Lars asks: "Please, if you know, or have heard anything, let me know."

Contact Lars: lars_thomas@msn.com
Or me: jon@eclipse.co.uk

Our thoughts and prayers are with Lars and his two sons at this terrible time.

THAT INDIAN CAT


Recently, all sorts of wild claims have been made,following an annoucement by the Indian autorities regarding a mystry cat which was allegedly photographed in the sunderbans national park. The original news releases where accompied by a brace of photographs which initially looked quit intriguing. However, on closer exemantion proved to be of two animals of known species; A leopard cat and a fishing cat. I noted at the time that who ever was reponsebal had kept the pictures of this new animal under wraps, so that internet pirate dudes like me couldn’t nick them and proliferate them across the aether.

However, some days had passed and still the pictures have not appered. It has been claimed that the animal a melanistic leopard albit in a place were leopards have never been seen. It has also been claimed that it could be a melanistic cat. This is likely to be the case,although with out a picture, we still have no way of telling. This is what the Wildlife Institute of India claims, I rekon that they are correct. But why not realese the photographs? all this is going to do is promote vulgar specalation in the cheap seats until they do.

Watch this space.

There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived in some way by us, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.
It takes a long time to do, and is a fairly tedious task, so I am not promising that they will be done each day, but I will do them as regularly as I can. JD
