Conservation Experts: This Size Cat Hasn't Been Seen Here In 100 Years. There has been a wild animal alert issued in the northern suburbs. A mountain lion, yes, a mountain lion, is on the loose.

...

We’re not looking for your Aunt Mildred’s kitty here, either. This is a big cat, a 160-pound predator that hunts and eats things.

...

Ironically the Eastern mountain lion was officially declared extinct only a few months ago — in March.

That’s a good place for it if it will eat liberals.

Liberals taste like chicken.

Greenwich is not in the boonies. Though in Connecticut, it’s a suburb of NYC. Wouldn’t be surprised if some idjit had this cat as a pet.

[Born to Conserve]

There was a mountain lion in N.E. Pa. in 1970 — I saw it.

I thought this was a joke until reading the article. I’m still trying to figure out why it’s legal to keep one in New York, but illegal in Connecticut.

Cougar. She's called a cougar.

This is alot closer to Imus's house than mine. As Rosanne Rosannadanna once said, “If it's not one thing it's another”.

Liberals should remember their little brass bells

Extinct, huh? Not in Upstate NY....

Greenwich is the most expensive per capita town in the county. It is where a lot of your Wall Street executives live. Most of those are actually conservative. The average house in Greenwich starts at $1 million.

“Liberals should remember their little brass bells.”

For them, or for the kitty-kat?

I’ve heard that wearing bells in bear country will get them moving away from you, but I suspect that it only increases your chances of being ambushed by a cat.

Yep, give those tree hugging liberals the brass bells and pepper spray and tell them they now have a chance to practice what they preach. Man has invaded the predators territory and we have to learn to coexist with them. LOL!

Must be living on Pit bulls..

[woodbutcher1963]

Was it not in Greenwich where the lady was attacked by the Chimpanzee pet ?

Guess he didn't get the memo.

[No Truce With Kings]

“Must be living on Pit bulls.”

Tree-hugging liberals are more tender and put up less of a fight.

[meatloaf]

There’s an old joke about how to identify bear scat. It has small bells in it and it smells like pepper spray.
