In the past few years the tabloid papers have blamed paedophiles, immigrants, and benefit claimants for society's ills. Now they have a new scapegoat. It is the turn of Vulpes vulpes...

BIG CAT NEWS: Another Scottish Sheep kill, and the latest on the Cornish Cadaver
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper column inches than any other cryptozoological subject.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
Has killer cat claimed a second victim?
John O'Groat Journal
THE discovery of a second sheep carcase which had been stripped to the bone has added to fears that a big cat is roaming the remote areas of the Far North. The gruesome discovery was made by Simon and Jane Foster who were walking along the North ...
Another sheep kill in the far north of Scotland is being blamed on the predations of a mystery cat. Sounds fair enough to me. Several of the newspapers are also carrying the story about the Cornisg carcass that we covered the other day. We are in the process of trying to get hold of this skeleton for our collection, but so far to no avail. The news agency that has handled the story are acquaintainces of ours, and they have contacted the person who has the skeleton on our behalf, but so far we have heard nothing.
However, whatever it is, everyone is agreed that it is not a cat. Of the four people I have contacted so far, one sdays a dog, one says a seal, and the other two say a badger. Danny Bamping (there's a name from the past with which to conjur) says that he thinks it is a badger or an otter. The woman who originally found it thought it was a crocodile!No-one outside the tabloids has any reason to suppose it is a cat.
