Since there is no "concrete evidence", .......WHY PROTECT THEM???

It seems that everyone thinks it is so laughable to even think they exist in PA then why care if there is a small population? Most people feel that they are already extinct in PA.

Killing the last few, shouldn't matter. People feel that Pennsylvania doesn't have the right amount or proper habitat to support such an animal anyway.

So if they think the habitat is so unsuitable for them to exist, then maybe they should be exterminated. After all, this habitat we have in PA wouldn't be able to support such a large cat.

In one breath, some people say they don't exist and the habitat in Pa wouldn't support such an animal, then in the next breath they cry that we shouldn't kill them if there is small population. Well.........if the habitat is so poor....then maybe it shouldn't be supporting them if they are found to exist.
