TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS
There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.
The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
What has Corinna's column of fortean bird news got to do with Cryptozoology?Well, everything actually!
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in.

The next issue of Gonzo Weekly is well under way, and assuming that everything goes according to plan will be out tomorrow. It will feature interviews with Erik Norlander on the new Rocket Scientists album, Judge Smith on the early days of Van der Graaf Generator, and Jakko Jakszyk on the forthcoming ELP reissue and the King Crimson rehearsals. There are also features on The Psychedelic Warlords, Keith Levene, Acid Mothers Temple, Galahad and more news, reviews, views, interviews and Matschie's tree-kangaroos (OK, no arboreal macropods from New Guinea, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
Yesterday it was announced that “Plans to roll out
the controversial badger cull pilots nationwide across England have been dropped
by Owen Paterson after a damning independent report found the shoots were not
effective or humane". This isn’t a complete victory, because the culls in
Somerset and Gloucestershire are still going ahead, although I am sure that
plans are afoot from the so-called “extreme elements” to disrupt them further
and make them unworkable. I am proud of the small part that I played in this
campaign. I doubt whether the song and video that we made, featuring Graham
dressed up as David Cameron and two glove puppet badgers had that much effect,
although a certain socialist pop group got huffy with me accusing me of not
taking parliament seriously, a charge to which I will gladly plead
guilty.

He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange kitten?

WIN!
Plans to roll out the controversial badger cull pilots nationwide across England have been dropped by Owen Paterson after a damning independent report found the shoots were not effective or humane.
The two pilot culls, in Gloucestershire and Somerset, will continue with improvements recommended by the independent expert panel (IEP), including more and better-trained marksmen. But plans to start badger culls in 10 other areas have been abandoned, the environment secretary announced on Thursday, telling MPs he was taking the responsible approach.
"This disease is the most pressing animal health problem in the UK," Paterson said, noting that 26,600 cattle were slaughtered in 2013 and that the disease had cost taxpayers £500m in the past decade. But he accepted that "on effectiveness … the culls did not make as much progress as we hoped." He said the cull operators had often faced a "disgraceful amount of intimidation from some of the more extreme protesters".
The shadow environment secretary, Maria Eagle, said the abandoned roll-out was a humiliating climbdown for Paterson. "Consistent with his inept handling of this shambles he has put prejudice before science, secrecy before transparency, conflict before consensus and posturing before good policy," she said.
Prof Rosie Woodroffe, a leading badger expert who conducted alandmark decade-long trial of badger culling, said even the two pilot culls should be halted. "The pilot culls performed so poorly in effectiveness and humaneness, I would stop and invest in something more promising," she said.
The culls, aimed at curbing the rise of tuberculosis in cattle, were dismissed by senior scientists as "mindless" before they started and have provoked huge public opposition since, and led to ministers losing a vote in the House of Commons. The night-time shoots failed to kill enough badgers in the allotted time, which scientists warned could lead to escaping badgers spreading TB more widely and increasing it in cattle.
