but why is it a bad thing if they are put in a part of the country

Did you look at the map of the critical habitat recommendations? Ever heard of the towns in or near that area? Jaguars aren't mountain lions, they are more like african lions, no fear, a real apex predator like man. Add to that mix around a lot of people, not much game if they get established, and welcome to people getting killed on a regular basis. This same area has other species that are being re-established. What do yo think will happen to those species if the Jag gets back even to the level of mountain lions? Do you live where the gov't put wolves back? There is a reason they were hunted out, and it is just a valid today.

I did not realize that Jaguars were bigger than mountain lions. My sister in law has a house in Montana that is located in a grizzley bear preserve. She has 12 acres out in the country with neighbors scattered around. The Grizzles, black bears and mountain lions come through her property regularly, so far no one has been killed.
