Mountain lion, now there’s some good eating!
First, you stake out a small child...
Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.

No no no no no no no. You have to embrace your inner mountain lion. Blue Sky, Peace Garden, Mountain Springs and their other liberal buddies should cover themselves with bacon grease and commune with the mountain lions.

If someone is forced to kill this animal I hope they’re not stupid enough to report it to the ‘authorities’. Cops are the LAST people you want involved in anything!

These idiots move out of the core city to avoid the two legged predators and then want to exterminate the four legged predators only because they don’t vote.
The only thing urban sprawl has ever done for the Mountain Lion is bring Fluffy Snacks.

Small child small dog not much differants to MT lion. Humans no claws,no fangs,no hair,soft pink and don't run very fast.

An unarmed human is easy prey.

Thanks.

Just because we do not see them, does not mean that the predator does not see us.

“You have to embrace your inner mountain lion.”
“their other liberal buddies should cover themselves with bacon grease “

1. I have, I have!!! “Eat or be eaten...” (Ask my husband about my embracing my inner mountain lion. A+++)!!!

2. Terrible waste of good bacon grease. (Spread on toast. Add salt and pepper. Top with sliced onions. Enjoy!)

Yep, mountain lions would be as low as Democrats except nobody is cutting them a welfare check, feeding them school lunch or granting them citizenship status without legal entry.

If it were an issue between a local and a mountain lion, there wouldn’t be any stinking news article. They would have settled between themselves. Sometimes, a couple of big dogs and a little bird shot, will inform a lion where not to go.

000 buckshot makes a more lasting impression than bird shot.

;-)

Do remember to shoot when Kitty is facing you and memorize “I had a reasonable fear for my life”, then say nothing more.

Just opining.

We live about 10 miles north of there. We’ve had a bear drink the humming bird feeders off the porch and cat tracks in the yard. Besides that, living in the forest has deer and elk wandering the yard. Pretty cool, really. The kitty cats keep the small yappy dogs to a minimum.

I suppose small yappy dogs learn to shut up, or they are removed from the gene pool.
