Well, yeah...Who cares about your poor chickens? ;)(kidding) My husband's grandmother took care of lots of woodchucks, raccoons and other assorted creatures that got into her garden, she didn't use a butterfly net either. I think it was a .22. She was in here 80s.
So I guess if we keep our kids contained in a large topless cage, backyard, that they are fair game for the lions too. This was written by not just an idiot, but a “box of rocks stupid” idiot!!!!!
I also have a Labweiler.
“What would you expect in mountain lion country?”
What’s wrong is that people live there and it’s still “mountain lion country.” It could just as easily have been someone’s (two-legged) child attacked.
This Boulder-based Sinapu Carnivore group are even extreme for the Boulder area.
Sled dogs sleep outdoors in Alaska, Colorado...all the time.
Why is it that hypenated women are always unpleasant? Anyone know?
They didn't evolve anywhere.
And yet, these liberal mouthpieces have nothing to say about all the drunken bums that have to sleep outside every night in cold, cold Colorado?
Oh, that’s right...animals are everything; people don’t matter. *SMIRK*

Ok you’ve lost it. Dogs are not people. Kids are people and that is a big difference. The statement was made that keeping dogs on a chain was cruel. My response was that a chain was not cruel.
Of course precautions should be made against predators of all kids. So take your idiot comment and eat it with raw crow. Becoming hysterical sure won’t help when the lions come after you.
These nuts were silent when PETA was killing dogs.
Remember when PETA even stole a hunting dog in Maryland ?
I wish somebody would feed these people to the Damm things
The issue is that in rural areas, a tied up dog at night in an unenclosed area cannot protect itself.
A freind told me he heard a neighbor’s dog get torn to bits by a pack of coyotes. The neighbor lived less than a mile away, and the sound carried quite well on the cold night.
He said it was one of the most horrible things he had ever heard...the dog literally shrieked as it was torn limb from limb, while the coyotes yelped and howled.
If you care for an animal, and you cannot afford an enclosure, it is downright sadistic to tie a dog up in the open, unmonitored for an entire night in a rural area.
People who care about their pets would not do it in an area frequented by polar bears in Alaska.
If someone doesn’t care about their dog, that is their business. But to say there is nothing wrong with it is a falsehood.
Easy. A hyphenated name indicates the person was raised in a liberal household, with liberal values. Can you just see an emasculated man saying "Sure, honey, you won't take my name because of the oppressive patriarichal power structure that enslaves women? Well, let's use the hyphen honey, is that OK? Honey, schnookums?".
The woman was no doubt raised WITHOUT a normal, manly father figure, and WITH an angry feminist harpy for a mom.
Beware of Animal Rights Activists with hyphenated last names.
Both male and female varieties.
If someone goes for a walk at night and is attacked by a mountain lion, will they too be charged with baiting?
BTW...I do want to indicate that I DO mean an unmonitored pet.
People OBVIOUSLY tie up their pets outside in many rural areas, and investigate when they hear any noise. That isn’t what I mean here, and it sounds like this guy was monitoring the animal (otherwise there would have been no incident...the puppy would have just disappeared)
The issue is people who tie the animal up and do not monitor it, and go to a friend’s house or a bar.
Something doesn't sound kosher here- just how big IS a 8-mo Rotty-Lab? 100 lb? Is this really something a cougar would go after?
Uh... why not?
