'Credible' Report Of Mountain Lion In Fairfield
We're stackin' 'em up like cordwood.
Wondering what makes this guy's sighting more *credible* than anyone else's? Every sighting is routinely poo-pooed by the DEP: "DEP spokesman Dennis Schain said the agency investigates all reports, but has not substantiated any sightings. DEP also continues to believe the mountain lion killed in Milford had been in captivity but escaped into the wild. There is no native mountain lion population in the state, Schain said."
They parse their words on it carefully.
They state that the ‘eastern’ mountain lion is extinct, so ‘obviously’ any that are seen are either an exotic pet let loose or a fabrication.
Then they go on their merry way and ignore any evidence to the contrary.
I can not make the link work.
The Union Leader columnist from Colebrook,NH(way up near the Canadian border)has been writing about Mountain Lion sitings for years. His column this weekenk was all about this CT lion. There have been reports of two lions roaming together in CT and western Mass. However, the fish and game depts. of NH , VT, MA , ME and CT continue to say that they are extinct in New England.
