No state agency can release mountain lions without public record.To do so would put their pittman-robertson funds in jeopardy,which no state agency is willing to risk.The story you heard did not happen.It scare me that people actually believe this stuff.

All I am going to say is the state doesn't have to be the ones releasing them... Here one was caught being transported for a release by someone from one of those nature freaks that run around saying save the animals. He was caught and convicted of it, and was put away for a long while. Now this is only one person so how many others are out there trying to do the exact same thing?
