Let me take her off your hands. Consider it Glenn Beck-inspired charity.

“She began urging Game and Fish officials to take a hard look at predator populations, and their recent research has confirmed Salazar’s suspicions. After discovering a flaw in its modeling, the department says there are 11 percent more bears and 72 percent more cougars than it had previously estimated.”

Slight bureaucratic discrepancy.

My first and only encounter with a cougar was safely behind a fence at a Colorado wild animal exhibit. Think of a huge, wild-eyed cat that does not purr like a housecat. No way could a cougar be tamed.

I was there at feeding time. The owner of the preserve got frozen outdated whole chickens for the cougars. He threw a couple into the cage. Each chicken was the size of a human head. I still shudder when I think of the crunching sound.

Good article...Glad to see Game and Fish paid attention to Charlotte Salazar and admitted their errors.

Maybe CA and CO will reassess their methods and numbers after this finding by NM but am not holding my breath.

Could we just re-home them down next to Mexico for border protection? The libs just love “Survival of the Fittest” scenarios, it’s part of their creed.
