Were-Lions Attack Humans When The Full Moon Wanes?

Dear Jon,

Why doesn't CFZ collaborate with the Dutch DNA testing team who produced the positive ID for the UK jaguar sightings and test for lion or possible nandi bear attacks on humans which is causing concern.

See the article attached.

It's worthy of investigation, is it not?[quote]"The number of attacks on people in the evening hours skyrockets for the first five days after the full moon," study researcher Craig Packer of the University of Minnesota told LiveScience. "It was quite striking." [end quote] I would be a lot more satisfied with a professional testing by CFZ. The trouble is, if there was a DNA test which didn't fit the pre-assumption of lion attack, then it's likely to be dismissed as an outside curiosity, or a case of contamination. You have to be open to the possiblity of a nandi bear attack to be see the possible evidence imo. The standard reason for more lions attacking people on a waning moon seems like poppycock to me.

What do you think?
Kind regards,

Alan Lowey
