Well, that just goes to show my knowledge of DC geography.
I was there only once in my life and since we came in by the main entrance, there was nothing that looked like protected anything that way.
Alrighty then......

A slight correction: there are coyotes in Rock Creek Park, but not enough to make a difference. Oh, how I’d love to put up a stand in Rock Creek Park and do my part to thin the herds for you and your azaleas!

there are coyotes in Rock Creek ParkA year ago or so I used to see them from time to time and would hear them howling away at night from my bedroom window. But they started attacking domestic dogs, and I think the Park Service has asked them to move along w/forced relocation when they don't comply. I have neither seen nor heard them recently.

The Zoo is free but they always want donations. I’d pay, or even become a “FONZ”, to see them throw a deer in the lion’s den every week. Those things are nothing but tick-infested giant rats.

It would be interesting if the Lion actually ate the doe in front of the onlookers, I wonder how many would say the Lion murdered the doe and needed to be put down like a criminal
My guess it would be quite a few. All liberals The same clueless lib Gaeia worshipping A-holes that donate to "reintroduce" wolves into the wild; and donate to ban mountain lion hunting; and donate to ban bear hunting; and, donate to ban... .

People keep telling me that deer are smart and are just confused by bright lights. I just think that herbivores with small brains are dumb.
Pass the venison.

Folks today are so weak.
All I could hear were women screaming in anguish as the lion pursued potential food.
reminded me of old growth tree sobbers

It’s not like the National Zoo is anywhere near wilderness or rural areas that the deer could have just wandered in. BWHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahaha!
