My partner has had two (very) close up sightings and she said sightings among her peer group were common enough that no one thought it was that big a deal.

This was in the late 90’s though. There are certainly enough sheep and rabbits in the English countryside to support a small population of big cats.

Do Panthers carry off their prey to eat? It seems surprising that there aren't regular reports of farmers finding sheep that have been half-eaten.

What species of panther ? Leopards definetly do, they even drag carcasses up trees. Lions, Tigers and Jaguars usually eat in place.
