Is there a wildcat roaming loose in England?

As far as we know, there are no big cats native to Great Britain. However, that hasn’t stopped a terrifying legendary cryptid from being reported there. Much of the countryside remains wide open and/or forested. In the 1970s and 1980s, local animal trainers and private owners supposedly began releasing dangerous felines into the wild after the passage of a strict new law regulating captivity of predators. Dartmoor, Exmoor, and Bodmin Moor were right at the epicenter of the issue. Ever since, farmers and landowners have reported many of their livestock being savagely beaten and killed by some unknown creature that must be huge. Those who’ve witnessed the creature swear that it’s definitely not an ordinary cat. Some models have put it as a hybrid of a lion or leopard and a bulky animal, like a boar. These creatures are built for brute force and power, kind of like a cat-like equivalent of a hell hound.
