“Mountain Lion Shot: Death Necessary”
For the Lion or Shooter?
I think even a starving, underweight mountain lion would be dangerous to a human.
If it was frightened (and it had to be), then that makes the cat even more dangerous and desperate.
“Mountain lion lives matter.” He was only an adolescent. He had dreams of going to college. Totally unnecessary, huh Marlene?
You see this recent video of the mountain lion attacking Doberman?

Life is hard.
[ One of their lions, with a tracking collar, had stopped moving. When they investigated, they found that the animal had impaled itself, mouth first, on a jagged branch. It was likely pursuing dinner at the time. Animal accidents are much more common than most people realize. There is no OSHA or workers comp in the natural world. ]
We need a government agency to prevent animal accidents!!!!
How can a Bear Sh!t in the woods if there is a not a Bear Port-a-Potty every 100 yeards in the woods?
SSS.
It is not just animal free loaders that over populate given the opportunity to live freely. Replace “animal” with your favorite antagonist specie.
“If people tried to care for all the animals that are born, they would quickly be impoverished by the sheer mass of animal freeloaders willing to accept free food. That is why millions of dogs and cats have to be destroyed in shelters each year. Give out free food and care, and the animals just produce more animals until they overwhelm the system. The classic illustration of this for a nation raised on television, is “The Trouble with Tribbles”. Except, there isn’t any handy Klingon battle cruiser to “transport” them to. Even if there were, the tribbles transported would not survive for long.”
We could have had a lot more fun with this thread if that headline had said “cougar” instead of “mountain lion.”
