What Is Killing Them? | Danes Dyke In East Yorkshire Holds A Dark Secret.

[@kitchenworker446]

Fascinating! What upset me though (as well as seeing any dead animal) was the rubbish tipped there. I will never understand why people wil drive and carry rubbish to somewhere beautiful and tip it instead of taking it to the tip?? It would probrbly be easier to do that!!

[@Warrior6504]

A big cat wouldn’t kill then leave their pray to rot it would drag or carry it’s prize to a place where it can eat and store it’s meal without being disturbed. Someone is killing these deer and badgers and dumping them and a fox is dragging them away. I’ve hunted for years and seen foxes pull rabbits out of snares and snap the cable holding the rabbit. I’ve seen foxes pull chickens through fences that chickens can’t fit through. A fox is plenty strong enough to drag them deer away so if it was me doing this video I would invest in a trail cam and hide it for a couple of months and you will catch your culprit and maybe get a reg plate. Big cats suffocate their prey they don’t break legs. Good luck with your investigation and I hope you catch whatever or whoever is doing this.

[@ginadeacon9920]

Very good point! Hardly cat...

[@jonathanstokes5069]

Big cats often kill by suffocation, drag prey into a gulley such as this and come back to it when they are hungry. Quite often they will eat from the back end first as it tends to be softer. Could you put up a trail cam that will take a picture/ film when anything walks in front of it 👍

[@philthycat1408]

For all the 50+years I’ve wandered through various woodland, off track usually, I’ve only found one dead deer. It was pretty well ripped open and it suddenly felt that I was being observed by something and I shouldn’t be there. I’ve seen lots of roadkill deer etc and have felt nothing like that woodland experience.

Two legged cats with four legged friends would be my guess looking at the signs.

[@emmaearnshaw3282]

Yup. A friend of mine had a saluki/lurcher cross that could take out deer very quickly. Pretty much everytime it got off the lead it would go and kill something. But 4 in the same place seems too unlikely.

One thing that could have been worrying the birds is an owl. But normally that would only be one or two. Whatever was freaking the blackbirds out was a decent size and seemed to be on the move, collecting scornful birds as it went. It reminded me of when our cat is prowling the garden and the blackbirds start freaking out. But on a bigger scale.

I used to travel from the North East to South but I used A&B roads to get to the motorway in the early hours of the morning and frequently saw wildlife and domestic pets with their eyes reflecting back at me but one time I saw these eyes in the distance but the animal I couldn't see just its eyes and expected as normal it would get spooked and head off but this just seemed to stand there as I got closer I started breaking and when it came into view and it looked like a large cat, I suppose it was the size of what another has said a labrador but it was longer in length and it just popped over a hedge like no big deal. I couldn't believe what I saw, I actually turned the car around or across the road to shine lights across the field to see if I could see it but there was no sign but I wasn't about to get out for a closer inspection, totally flabbergasted I drove on meeting the motorway and there was a garage just before where I used to grab a coffee and fuel up and I walked inside and chatted a bit and two cops came in I first thought "say nothing they will think your mad" but I knew I had seen a large cat that was not native to this country and thought what if it went for a kid so I blurted it out. I said to one cop here mate this is going to sound nuts I'm driving and I'll take a breathalyser if you want but I've just seen something and promise I'm not making it up and told him about it, he never interrupted me and just stood and listened and I was looking and thinking get ready for the cuff's lol he thinks I'm mad and then shock horror he said yeh there are a few people seen it like it was normal I looked to his right the other cop was paying attention and he said yeh it's there I haven't seen it myself but you can tell they saw it, I was stunned that it was well known, I was actually questioning myself if I had really seen it I did at the time look on the net to try and work out what it was and would say at best guess about the size of a puma but its face looked a little bit more fury.

[@bigbasil1908]

I found a dead deer in a part of my local park that hardly anyone goes to because it's away from all the walking tracks. Something had been eating its guts. A day or two later I wanted to show it to my nephew who was quite young at the time but it was gone when we got there. I know if a deer is killed and the body is beside the road, it will not stay there for long at all (someone always takes them for the meat). I'm not sure why someone would take a rotting deer, unless parts of the deer are still good to eat and are not spoiled. The roadkill deer beside the roads are always fresh when they are taken by someone.

In America the Sasquatch are seen a lot in wooded or forest areas and they tend to hunt down deer and hogs and they always break the legs of their prey so they cannot escape if left who knows that’s something to think about regards very interesting video

[@Dean_Cooling]

If I’m looking at the right thing…that ‘person’ appeared to reappear crossing from your right to left, viewers left to right, at the last 10th of a second….around the 4min 08secs, which I would’ve thought not possible if a stationary object or dark patch as, looking at the road your walking, it would need quite a sharp turn for it to give that impression. Hope this makes sense? Maybe it’s time you start wearing a rear facing camera Paul, like a GoPro mounted on your shoulder, a head strap or top of rucksack, whenever down that way. Not just for capturing things, but possibly giving you the heads up of direction of travel etc, or something you missed such as a weirdo following or watching you. No harm in being careful but a lot of harm can come from the opposite if folk are up to no good.

[@thetruthchannel349]

Several years ago I walked up on a deer laying in a field that looked like it had been shredded through a paper shredder & there was a blood trailed leading to the wood line followed by drag marks. I followed & another deer was down in the ravine. Its neck was broken & it was perfectly intact. The deer laying in the field Ive never seen or heard of anything like that. It had been ripped to shreds. It kinda scared me looking at it. I went & got my dad & he couldnt believe it either.

Roughly 20 odd year ago I spotted what I believed to be a fully grown large cat casually walking along a railway line between Dewsbury and Batley. I was stood directly over the line on an old pack horse bridge, it was just dropping dark, out of sheer curiosity I leaned over the side of the bridge when directly below me, walked out an Alsatian sized sandy coloured, long tailed cat. It walked along the line, stopped, looked back then leaped from the track at least 3 metres onto the opposite bank with ease and disappeared. I am absolutely convinced at what I saw, there are large cats living in the UK. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@Steve_Wardley_G6JEF]

It seems to me that four deer in six to eight weeks in the same spot is too much of a coincidence to have been knocked over by cars, especially as it's a slow speed road with bumps, I know it well. Deer don't need a lot of woodland to live in so it doesn't surprise me they are there and early morning is a good time to see them but sadly not dead. This certainly has an aire of mystery about it. Great stuff Paul.

[@DavidDrummond-mu3ur]

Hi Paul, having had a couple of cat sightings myself in the past and the possible aftermath of cat kills I would say the deer you have found are likely not cat kills they do look like they may have either been killed by other means and bodies dumped or something scared them and they have inadvertently killed themselves in running the backside being eaten in one could be from other animals - cats can also climb trees and lie in wait up trees - but they are fairly timid creatures and don't generally attack humans - the cat kills I have seen showed the carcasses are generally stripped of flesh leaving the bones behind

Sheep and lambs were also being predated on less than a mile away and the owner saw a big cat jumping out of the paddock with a lamb in its mouth.

[@lawrencemartin1113]

My guess, as a shooter and deer stalker, and as this seems to be a location to dump stuff, and is accessible by vehicle, the deer are being shot elsewhere and dumped later on. Without very close inspection of the carcasses, you would potentially find it very hard to detect any wound. Also, if they are being shot with an illegal caliber rifle, the entry wound may be near invisible with no exit wound either. If a predator was killing deer, it would kill one at a time and consume a lot of it at the time, or possibly cache it for later. Excessive killing and just leaving the carcass is just totally out of character for any large predator and regardless of the stories and alleged 'sightings' is just so fantastic as to be almost impossible as the culprit. Much more likely a human killing and dumping. Why? Well perhaps they enjoy the shooting and stalking but don't have the skill or care about gralloching and processing the venison. A waste, and highly irresponsible, but we are not short on deer in the UK. Likewise, the Badgers and foxes are likely to be killed by humans and dumped. Nothing odd or supernatural to it I am afraid, just good old human behaviour. By the way.....was that your black briefcase in the undergrowth at the top of that gully in the first part of the video when you were checking you had car keys and phone and dog etc? If you look at the undergrowth to the left of the gully, just off the road, as the camera pans round, there is a black briefcase style bag standing there with the handle clearly visible. 🤔

there are a number of places where feral domestic cats appear to be breeding and growing much larger than their ancestors.

[@Ian-lp1pr]

Large predators i.e. cats do not behave like that. Animals have probably been killed elsewhere (probably shot) and then dumped. The top of the slope is a perfect stopping point for a vehicle and you can then see how the animals have been thrown or slid down the slope into the gully, smaller animals possibly foxes etc have then predated the bodies.

[@col8353]

That woman most likely startled a deer as they snort. I think the deer are most likely dying from falls after being chased by people or running away after being startled by people, cars, badgers or foxes etc. Young deer often break their legs jumping from heights when scared and this can happen when running in packs. Obviously being hit by a car is also likely or a bike etc. It’s certainly not being hunted and killed by big cats as there’s zero evidence on the bodies of the ones shown to suggest that. A wild cat panther lynx etc bite hard onto the neck of prey and it’s very easy to spot. It seems the ravines are just hot spots for them running down while scared and getting injured then dying to the elements.

Very interesting over my way in Wigan I investigated cat sightings on some of your videos you talk about fox killing in 2011 I found a few dead foxes late summer and it was around this time I had a very close encounter with a big black cat when out on an evening run

[@MsDenver2]

I think you will need trail cameras 📸

[@davidhunt4307]

That’s definitely very concerning all those deer been found dead in there and that lady heard something I’ve told you before Paul that I saw a fully grown black leopard in malton years ago but I was 1 million percent certain what I saw you can’t get it mixed up with anything else in UK unless you’re stupid and I ain’t so I believe you all the way

[@bluali23]

The grunting horse snorting sound that Louise heard has been described by others who've had Dogman/Werewolf encounters. Just sayin. Listened to way too many of these personal accounts on Dogman Encounters😳

[@soulstarreiki8889]

Yep..

[@markcoffey5066]

Animals die every day in the wild nothing strange about that fox will often start eating from backend because it’s easy access

[@StevenHird]

Amazing what the imagination can do.

[@Sealia77]

Shouldn't Yorkshire Wildlife Trust or the local council (or whoever looks after Danes Dyke) be investigating this?

[@gibbs677bg]

Are there any footprints In the damp mud, surely this would prove If any big cats were present?

[@jeanneoconnor6630]

I definitely heard that growl too at 9.03/4.

[@DaLilVivi96]

Where is this figure that was apparently behind him? Can someone help me to spot it? 😅

[@herenow2895]

I reckon it was a black figure sort of shape right back down the lane. It gradually went out of view as he carried on walking.

[@MsDenver2]

Surely if it is a wild cat they usually only kill one and will have there fill as they only normally kill for food , lions are a good example, once full they can’t be bothered to kill just for nothing?

[@woodenfossil1974]

Mindless people killing deer with bows with no intention to process the kill for venison. Just killing for the sake of killing. Seen a fair bit round here. Very sad.

[@treefoxxx]

Could be chronic wasting disease.

[@Salfordshire]

I’m certain I can hear a ‘big cat’ growl at 2:20. Did you hear anything Paul? Can anyone else hear anything? I’m likely mistaken. Turn the volume up.

[@marysinclair4103]

Paul has said he heard a growl, I will see if he is going to play where he heard it.

[@James-sr9vr]

Yeah heard it

[@bluali23]

Yes, I definitely heard that.

[@grahambtransparency9146]

I heard that roar to 👍

[@ginadeacon9920]

But why would cats, kill multiple deer? That's unusual 🤔

[@prairrie]

Birds do that with cats..

[@benhealy2330]

have you thought about adding trail cameras at key points and areas, maybe lucky?

[@lynne0410]

Shame man. Don't they have rangers checking the woods.

[@Smudge1962]

Hi at time stamp 9:03 just after where you say "I don't know about you", you have picked up what actually sounds like an animal growl. Quite clear with out head phones but much clearer with them

[@dannydenning1001]

Could be the dog

[@mimetype]

Could be a fart?

[@RSR423]

without a close up inspection of the carcasses we are clutching at straws for an answer to what happened to them.

[@cubecubesson6779]

Is it owd stinker?

[@elvissgrandma3215]

I suspect the fourth deer to be roadkill. Speedbumps don't stop some idiots on the road late at night. The other three deer being eaten from the backend? Don't foxes scavenge sheep carcasses starting at the tail as it's the softest part? I live in Weardale, Co Durham and we've had our share of big cat sightings over many decades. All the best with the search for answers.

[@moodygal51]

Can you put up some trail cams to see what they might catch? Those poor animals! 😢😥😞

[@nickthegardener.1120]

They probably drowned with the heavy rain.

[@chocolate-teapot]

Eaten from the backend? That's what hyenas do.

[@j.4332]

Hyenas are like Dogs,they simply rip chunks out of any body part they can.

[@chocolate-teapot]

@@j.4332 watch more David Attenborough documentaries, hyenas eat you arse and balls first, then your guts

[@CamMac-nl1yc]

Badgers also do this
