Like I said,if there are mountain lions out there some dummy that had one for a pet let it get out. The "officials" in Delaware even state that in the post that was put up. Like I said it is simple, if you see a cougar they leave tracks. Go measure the tracks, call the DEC they WANT you too. I can just say this you better have your "facts" straight when you do call them or they just may get a little upset. Where I work we have about 800 employess. Someone at one end of the factorycould cut their finger and put a bandaid on it and tell someone about it. By the time the story got all the way to the other end of the shop through word of mouth from person to person the 800th guy would get this story. " Did you hear that Joe got his arm caught in a machine and it pulled it in and ripped it off at the shoulder. They got the blood to stop and he is going to live but his arm is gone". Rumors are nothing but BS and the people who listen to them are the "ignorant ones".
