People in the Silver City/Pinos Altos, New Mexico, vicinity are nervously looking over their shoulders these days, fearing they may be the next meal for a mountain lion prowling the area...
On Friday, the body of Robert Nowojski, 55, was found about 75 yards from his Pinos Altos home, severely mauled and partly fed upon.
The animal would not leave until Game and Fish officers shot at it.
Although not yet confirmed with an autopsy, authorities suspect the lion is responsible for the fatal attack. Hunters with hounds are now tracking the animal.
Several people reported sightings of the mountain lion to the Game and Fish department in the past several weeks.
The big cat has been in other neighbors' backyards and even looked into their windows.
The animal has not shown a fear of humans

Okay, go ahead and quit us and do your watering, but don’t “link” out there. ;-)
This mountain lion thread got hijacked.
I’ll probably “leak,” like my ancient water hoses.
It’s okay, as long as some critter don’t get in my way.
The biggest worry I have is the skeeters. They are pure terrorists.
I have found many small droppings from some small animal while doing these. I pondered this Saturday night, wondering what it is.
I have a LOT of frogs here, probably some endangered ones. I have no problem with that. But whatever it is that is eating my frogs — if it jumps me I may start shooting!!! It’s dark here now, I piddled around and now have to go out and water my precious flowers/veggies at night. I’ve done this before, don’t bother me. I’ve heard/seen some of the greatest sights doing this.
If a bear comes my way, I’ll leave it alone, long as it gives me the same consideration. Bears are NOT endangered here!!!
Yeah, it did and I apologize for being a part of it. I’m still glad you found a source, I looked a couple days and never did find one, just a link only or a radio piece with a couple lines.
Might I suggest doing a google search before posting?
Only Disney movies claim that wolves have never killed anyone in America. But Disney is mere HollyWeird, and the real world has examples of predators like wolves, bear, and cougar attacking, killing, and eating humans.
Allowing Americans to be armed when on all state and federal lands would rapidly return us to the pre-enviroMental era when predators knew their place on hte food cahin.
Since you probably are unfamiliar with man’s place on the food chain, he is the top predator WHEN ARMED.
When man is not armed, man is food for predators.
Summation: When gunpowder speaks, beasts listen.
SSS. Or, shoot from long range and pick up your brass.
No aplology needed. It is good to help each other.
The enemedia does not like to report inconvenient information like “ predators kill humans. “
Like BO’s 57 states, the enemedia is very silent.
Thanks
Besides the mountain lions and wolves mentioned in this message thread, one animal that people should be aware of are mute swans, especially during period when new cygnets are born. They're not small water fowl, and both cobs (male swans) and pens (female swans) weighing over 20 pounds can cause very serious injuries or even death in a few cases defending their nesting sites in a very aggressive manner. Methinks the Left have been watching a few too many performances of Swan Lake to realize how dangerous mute swans can be.
“Nowojski’s estate was issued a citation for unrestrained release of greenhouse gases without purchasing carbon credits.” Okay, it didn’t happen, but you know it’s going to once Gore’s candidate Obama gets the White House.
It’s now confirmed by the autopsy the gentleman was killed by the mountain lion.

Thanks.
Liberals will try to deny this.

Excluded from this chatty outdoornewsdaily.com article - “Here are some tips to protect yourself, your family and pets:” Please add: Carry a gun. Shoot all cats on sight. Then shovel and shut up. Better yet, defecate and urinate on the carcass; it will help Mr. Kitty’s dim-witted friends understand who the top predator is.
Possible bumper sticker: Save the Big Cats - shoot the dumb ones on sight.
I had nothing to do with this.
