They don’t exist.

If a rare animal is found living in your state, it is called “endangered.” And all sorts of laws come into place.

Your state government doesn’t want that. And you don’t, either.

So they don’t exist.

Sort of like conservative congresscritters.

The locals "see" them all the time here in soviet Red Hampshire. It's a good thing they "don't exist"...that would be bad news for people with property around here. My neighbors "saw" a mountain lion recently; just a few hours before they spotted a bobcat. I saw the bobcat from a distance of three feet, but I didn't see the lion.

No, really.

Exactly! I know our county game warden and he will tell you they don’t exist in KY. And he doesn’t want them to exist because as you say lots of new laws, policies and procedures go into effect if they do.

I live near a national park and have a huge mt. lion that me, my wife and her mom have seen several times. We have found paw prints in the snow and mud and told the warden and park rangers, but alas they don’t exist, we saw bobcats. Right, a tall bobcat big as a hugest breed of dog with the head of a mountain lion, no little tuft ears and no stump tail but a huge long brown tail.

Unofficially I have had park personal tell me, yeah they are here and we know it, the state knows it, but everyone just decides to live in fantasy land.
