It is inescapably obvious that the ancient burial temple at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey has NO large cats among it's 15,000 known carvings.

The cats are small ~ like domestic cats.

12,500 years ago humans already knew they didn't live well with large cats around and had DISPOSED of all the lions, tigers, dontinae (Felidae), Barbourofelidae (Feliformia), and Nimravidae (Feliformia) anywhere near them!

Still, one of the reasons for disposing of your dead on platforms where the buzzards consume their flesh is to avoid FEEDING LARGE CATS, LARGE BEARS, LARGE WOLVES, or any of those other nasty animals we just don't want to have around.

Like we say today "Don't Feed The Troll", back then they said "Don't Feed The Cats".

It is good that the Eastern Cougar is gone. If God wants there to be another large predator, He'll make one for us. Until then, let them be gone!
