Yesterday, someone from the Mo Conservation Commission was on TV and said that mountain lions are back in Missouri (they’ve been reported for years but Conservation refused to confirm). Anyway, the spokesman said to think of them like the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz. “Make yourself look big and don’t try to run away” he said with a big smile. Might work if you are a 200 lb man, but 100 lb women and kids fall on the “prey” side of the cats’ mental calculators. I couldn’t help but think of all of the women and kids killed in California since Cal outlawed cat hunting.
