Winchester on NECN and Tracks update IP: 50.241.112.193 Posted on March 21, 2014 at 00:54:06 AM by weather01089
Received an email from Mass Wildlife. They submitted their "assessment" of the photos to 3 outside people. Do note they sent them not only the tracks the police assumed were cat, they sent them ALL the tracks photographed, which included coyote and others that were at the site. The first 3 they took were the ones posted, which were from the animal the witness saw. They claim the cat tracks are "canid" ones that are "overlays", or multiples. Biggest problem here is that there are no nails!!! Their conclusion is this is a domestic dog. But, they never interviewed the witnesses! That's OK, the police did, and found them credible. One is going to be on NECN tonight at 9, describing her encounter with this animal as she drove by. This is not the one that observed it in her yard, this is another witness that drove by the area. Mass wildlife got 3 tracking people, Paul Rezendes, Nick Wisniewski, and Dr Elbroch from New York who suggested this is a "cat footed dog", like a greyhound. They were sent the whole series and led to believe its all one animal. I know folks, its hard to tell a greyhound from a cat. There were a number of witnesses that have seen this cat. Watch this lady describe the encounter, and the characteristics of this cat. Our experts by the way all handle cougar tracks on almost a daily basis, we will take their judgment. Can everyone now see what is happening with these agencies? Read up on the Matunuck incident in Rhode Island where the fish and wildlife people clearly disregarded evidence. Replies:
