“There are two mountain lion that I know of here in NY.”
I’m pretty sure mountain lions have been seen around our family’s farm in western NY state within the past 50 years.
Because the Eastern Cougar is on the Federal Endangered Species list, and if it were acknowledged that they exist the VA DGIF (Department of Game and INland Fisheries) would have a lot more to do. We'd be swamped with even more enviro-wackos insisting that we protect the animals and their environment. It seems to me that the safest way to deal with that is to just deny the animal's existence.

One of them growled and hissed at me from inside a shallow cave on a hill top in Madison County, Kentucky, more than 20 years ago. It took my brain about 15 seconds to realize what was happening (I certainly didn’t expect such a critter to be around there), but I hightailed it out of there when I figured out what was growling at me.
My father grew up in Martinsville, VA, and he used to do some fishing and hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains back in the late 40’s. He swore he had heard cougars (he called them “catamounts”) growling and calling plenty of times.
Yet NY keeps insisting that they aren’t in the area.
*sigh*
a few years ago I was driving through rock creek park Chevy Chase DC, in the early evening with my son. We both saw what looked like a cougar. Officals had been reporting a spate of small domestic animals being attacked and reported missing...and although others saw what they assumed was a large cat, it was discounted as probable coyote sightings. What we saw was a very large cat. The closest thing it could’ve been was a blonde rhodesian ridgeback or pitbull. But dogs move differently than cats. The thing is, these animals have bountiful wildlife to feed off of...no one hunts anything in suburbia.
Katz R Kool!
Nine lives R NUTHIN’!
(How ya like me NOW????)
If the big catz are in Ur Yard, it’s becuz you were in THEIR yard first!

These guys are bobcats who took over a foreclosed house in Lake Elsinore.
While riding my horse near Lava Beds National Monument, she approached a taller sage brush and began shaking uncontrollably.
I saw nothing, heard nor smelled nothing, no tracks...nothing.
The old timers told me it was a natural reaction to the smell of a mountain lion.
The natural enemy of the zebra is the lion.
She was never afraid of snakes.
If experts admit cougars exist, those cougars become problem that needs to be dealt with.
If expert say they do exist then there is no problem.
Same issue exists in Illinois and I believe also in Michigan.
This picture always cracks me up!!! I just laughed out loud for the first time in a long time.
That cat’s ears froze off.
LOL..Tell that to my SIL who keeps Petsmart in business.. I have 10 kitties..9 guests..two are kittens..different ages.
They are a riot.
I am keeping the kittens.
booo -meow-ooooooo!
