That may sound like good evidence that there were Canada lynx in the area, but actually, the regulators went to a zoo, got hair samples from captive lynx, and sent those hairs to the lab to be tested.

Furthermore:

No biologists were fired for the lynx fraud. They were just "disciplined." The fanatics protect their own.

Lots of Lynx in Alaska,, some people eat them..

[Graybeard58]

Hard to shoot something that doesn't even exist - see post #2.

[WideGlide]

Lynx have been discovered in Maryland too! (:^D)

[Red Badger]

Thus, the "If". Here in Florida a few years back, the DEP (Department of Enviro-Whacko People) wanted to count all the panthers in FL. But they cannot go onto PRIVATE PROPERTY to "see if any panthers are there". Landowners steadfastly refused to give permission to DEP personnel to come on their property. The DEP wanted the legislature to pass laws to make them immune to tresspass laws so they could go on to private property to count the panthers that aren't there. It didn't pass. The DEP would have made the property worthless if they so much as found a single turd from what may have appeared to be a panther. No development, No farming, No hunting, No ANYTHING!..................As Oscar Wilde (?) once quipped, "If called by a panther, don't anther!".........

If it's the last of its kind, couldn't you mount it to sell it on eBay? ;>)

[Red Badger]

.....or throw the body onto your neighbor's land...........(if you don't like him)...........

I recall reading some other "scientists" did the same thing with grizzly bear hairs from a taxidermist specimen - for the same purpose.

[Red Badger]

Thanks! I knew it started with an "O", so Oscar was the first name to pop into my head!.................

[ .......some people eat them......and Vice Versa....... ]

Nope their too small to attack a man.. They live on rabbits and meice..

[Red Badger]

Yeah, they're small but I'm sure they could kill a man.........

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

John Stossel is, like, soooo my hero! Its nice to finally see someone on the primetime networks exposing the bureaucrats and activists! Bureaucracy is crushing and killing this country.

[diogenes ghost]

"If called by a panther, don't anther!"........

. Watch out for those lions, too.

"The Lion" {Ogden Nash]
Oh, weep for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan!
He was eaten by a lion;
Following which, the lion's lioness
Up and swallowed Bryan's Bryaness.
