“Agents carried the cat to ...an Open Space park in west Boulder where it was released.”
That translates to “We drove him up the road and dumped him near where the other cat attacked that boy that was walking with his father and six more adults.”
Boulder - “The Domain Of The Demented”.
If I get a shot at the one around here it *won’t* be with a tranquilizer gun.
“And, releasing it in a local open space is silly, these animals have HUGE roaming territories.”
It is far worse than merely silly. Those enviro-whackos were careful to release that cat in an “Open Space Park”.
Unfortunately, the nice “Open Space Rangers” posted those parks with a rule board on which is a rule “Open carry is prohibited.”
Colorado is an open carry state, so the result of the banning of open carry is that the Open Spece park visitors are warned on the back of the same visitor information board to “Fight back if attacked, with your bare hands, if necessary.”
The rule first stripd the visitor of their Unalienable Right to defense of their life and then has the sheer arrogance to ask a human to fight a puma with their bare hands.
PS The “Open Space Ranger” IS armed.
PPS Who annointed the AgencyPerson and made them the UberMenschen, ala the Third Reich’s concept of the Ubermenschen?
Having a rough day at the Department of Redundancy Department?
LOL.
Since the officials say they don’t exist here, guess it’s legal to kill ‘em. No limit, year-round season.
Watch them grandyoungins close Grammy.
I have the necropsy photos of the puma shot above Boulder last year. That cat took a 168 grain between the eyes. The shot was a perfect example of gun control, in that the shot was the correct height above the line between the eyes to ensure a complete traverse of the brain. Then the bullet went down the neck and into the throracic cavity where it broke up.
The cat died on impact, and rolled over on its side.
The dog it was attacking did live, but the Kokars had a four figure vet bill.
What are deer flags? I have a friend who has tried everything. Let me know if they work.

After reading this article — I’m not sure who most needs to be shot:
1. The lion...?
2. The officials making the decision to re-release the cat in the same area?
This cat has seen the prey he is interested in — children.
He will return....
The case that comes to my mind was when the uniformed panther panderers darted a cat with ketamine. Soon after, a cat attacked,mauled, killed, and ate a high school athlete named Scott Lancaster.
Scott was eaten within sight of his high school while calss was going on.
What I expect to see is that another attack will occur in one of the Open Space parks, like the one where a boy was walking with his father,holding daddy’s hand when he was grabbed, pulled from daddy’s hand, and nearly killed.
Thanks to Boulder Dementia Syndrome, open carry is forbidden in Open Space parks, thus guaranteeing another totally needless and horrifying death.
In closing, I see a minimum of $250,000 dollars in salaries doing nothing but busy work as they carry that cat away to give it another chance to do a Scott Lancaster on some Boulder resident.
On the other hand, better one of those Boulder featherless bipeds than an American citizen.
Boulder Liberals and their Liberalism/animal rights delusion - BAH! HUMBUGGERY ! ! ! !
Boulder has Space Rangers?? COOL! I ~always~ wanted to be one of those... since I was like, seven years old.
Dang... and we thought they were a problem before...
Gonna happen where I live, too - NW of Austin in the hill country at Lake Travis which is being squeezed from all directions by new home building.
We all see and hear them lately - last summer about 35 pets went missing in one month. Parks & Wildlife just blows it off... here in TX there is no bag limit on panthers: they just ask that you call in your sighting/kill location.
Last week my sister saw a lynx! That’s probably the one thing I haven’t stumbled across yet, besides a bear. She told a cop that pulled up and he gave her the ‘uhmmmm hmmmmm... crackhead’ look.
Seems to me the best solution is hound hunting, with an extended “pursuit only” season.
Not only does it keep the population under control but it teaches the cats to fear the sound of barking dogs. Tends to keep them out of neighborhoods.
Hungry mountain lion ...Elementary School... small children.
Liberals are so stuck on stupid.
That would help a lot, it’s the only practical way to hunt or chase cougars from an area. The problem is that there’s probably no people with hounds that are trained to do it now in CA. The cats have been protected since 1996.
I lived in OR for 15 years in a rural area and knew two hunters that had hounds, there were many more than that though.
They would sometimes run cougars “pursuit only” in rural populated areas when they got a report of one in an area. It keeps their older hounds in shape and trains the younger ones.
When OR voters outlawed hound hunting of cougars and bears in 1994 the two hunters I knew got rid of their hounds, the dogs have to be worked to stay in shape.
Forgot to say I don’t know what the laws in CO are about hounds and cougars.
Yah... Washington banned hound hunting in 96, by an initiative run by the animal rights wackos. Of course the liberal sheeple of WA gobbled it up.
But it quickly resulted in a climbing cat population and many more reports of problem cats coming down into neighborhoods. The state quietly began offering contracts to hound hunters to go out and thin the numbers somewhat. Now I hear there’s a bill working its way through the legislature to undo the ban. The animalistas will fight it, I’m sure, but it might just pass.
Me neither. Don’t know what CO does.
She saw either a Bobcat (lynx rufus) or maybe...a jaguarundi or ocelot.....even more rare ...a margay.
but 99.9% chance it was a Bobcat....or a former pet felis lynx maybe.
that said....lynx are now found futher south than ever before in mountain ranges.....Appalachia in the east and Colorado in the west...
