"Tying a dog out, as cruel as it seems, is not “baiting""

Perhaps it's not deliberate 'baiting', but it certainly is stupid. Puppies cannot defend themselves against much of anything, let alone mountain lions.

Well, we can't blame a guy for his stupidity now can we? /sarc. ;)

Here in Michigan we're having trouble with coyotes killing pets. I wouldn't tie a dog out in the day time if I lived in a rural area or on the edge of a city.

Something doesn't sound kosher here- just how big IS a 8-mo Rotty-Lab? 100 lb? Is this really something a cougar would go after?

‘Perhaps it’s not deliberate ‘baiting’, but it certainly is stupid. Puppies cannot defend themselves against much of anything, let alone mountain lions.’

I raised my Rott/Shepard mix from approximately 14 weeks old up until today (she’ll be 12 on January 1st).

Trust me on this, at eight months my ‘baby’ Roxie could have torn your arm off....and had a fun time playing ‘guard the arm’ for hours afterwards....(chuckle)

That said, she would be no match at any point in her life for a mountain lion.

I supose the kook ‘activist’ had no problem with the recent fatal attacks on joggers by mountain lions.....
