The farmer saw the mountain lion with his own two eyes. Like I said it must have been a big tom cat that killed and started to eat his calf. That is what they call the mountain lion in pictures that people have taken. Believe me it is not a tom cat.
I don't doubt your friend here. But, when you call the Wildlife officer you better have some proof or your going to be called a liar. You know that and so do I.
The general public just can't imagine why the wildlife officals and the local landowners don't get along. How about seeing something with your own two eyes and being told you are a liar? How would you like that? I guess a dead animal that was perfectly healthykilled by a mountain lion is not enough even when it is witnessed.Are you a defense lawyer for criminals and murderers?
I was agreeing with you. Not sure how I offended you here. I said I didn't doubt your friend, but with the DNR you and I know you have to have proof.
So why was it "pretty dumb" for the wildlife officals to say that it is only a matter of time before there isa mountian lion attack? There were several close calls in the area, andthey were just stating a truth. Sounds like youprefer theylie and be untruthful about the situation. I guess you advocate playing with other peoples lives.
Not sure how I offended you here again. I was just saying that I found it pretty dumb for a wild life official so stand up and say, " Yep, boys and girls, it's just a matter of time before one of yuns gets eaten by a lion." I find that odd and unprofessional.
I saw the footage of the mountain lion in Roscoe Village whenit first happened, and Iwatched video from several different sources. The reason the mountain lion was shot is that it had no fear of humans, and it was a threat to the people in the area. When a wild animal like thathas no fear of humansit has become very unpredictable and dangerous.
That animal could have just as easly been darted and removed from the city. But, the Chicago police department hadn't fired their guns in a while and wanted some target practice. Would it have survived if it had been relocated to where it came from? Who's to say.
