Mountain lions raid ranches (A Big Cat)

"DO you believe in canned hunting?"

Well, it sure looks like the mountain lion did.

Just going on the fact that a; mountain lion populations are in some places, outstripping food supply, b; the competition for food must be pretty fierce, thus c; they're coming into populated areas looking for food.

The fact that one snatched a dog off a front porch should give one pause as to the audacity and probably desperation involved.

Children would not be safe under these circumstances.

Although, I doubt such a fervent animal lover would really care.

Animal worshipers are disgusting enemies of our Constitution and nation.

We need the rest of the default process and resulting smaller government. NIMBYs, go home!

[timeflies]

I don’t see anything wrong with “canned” hunting. They are animals. With your logic, when they get ready to load chickens in crates from the chicken houses, they should open the doors and let them have a chance to run for their lives first.

Meoooowwww!

Bang!

Meoooouch!

There is a predator hunter who teaches traping and predator hunting nationally. Of all the electronic calls he has used, the most sucessful for calling in all predators has been of a human infant’s cry.

I find THAT disturbing!

[TigersEye]

I have never heard that before that is interesting. And, yes, disturbing.

[ROTB]

That cat is gigantic. It’s looks like something out of Africa.

[GladesGuru]

From Fawn, of course: “They are proudly displaying GOD’s creature hanging like it was a piece of garbage.”

That is already OK’ed by God. Remember that bit about who gave us “dominion over the earth, ...”?

Dominion includes removal of dangerous or destructive beasts. SAme for dangerous or destructive people, as the Commandment was “Don’t Murder” not e commonly held error “Don’t Kill”.

Hint: Consider carefully before disputing Carry_Okie on theology. Just to save wear and tear on your molar enamel.

[GladesGuru]

Fawn, hunters have been proudly displaying their kills since we began the long walk from Olduvai Gorge to America.

That picture is to men what showing a baby by the mother is to women.

I suggest considering acceptance of human nature.

“The cats are only doing what GOD intended for them to do.”

I have faced a mountain lion with a very small rifle in the dead of the night. I now carry a .45-70.

It's a site not a sight.

[Fawn]

You’re right...thanks.

[CurlyDave]

What a disturbing picture. The cats are only doing what GOD intended for them to do. Those two hix in the pictures are right out of Deliverance movie.

Why do you hate farmers and love big cats so much?

You need to train the cats to provide the raw material for filling the shelves at your grocery store...

[Ditter]

Once again you have proved you are clueless.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Stay in the city Fawn. Mountain lions love Fawns.

“Those two hix in the pictures are right out of Deliverance movie.”

Have you any idea what one of these would do to a Fawn much less a full size deer or an unarmed human?

[Billthedrill]

I do a fair amount of solo hiking in the northwest country, Idaho, Montana, BC. Been stalked, twice (that I know of). All I can tell you is that it forever changes your view of what it is to be a human being. You want to get an intuitive feel for nature, get hunted some time.

I would love to see a cat that size in the wild. I'd love it because it's so much better than the one that size that you don't see.

PING this one over to Slings and Arrows. :)=^..^=

I wish I had saved the Houston Chronicle that came a few days ago. There was an article about several species of antelope that are extinct or severely endangered in their native areas of the world but they are thriving on “game ranches” in Texas. They have been brought to Texas and turned out on huge ranches where they have increased in numbers.......... in spite of the fact that they are hunted.
The Wikipedia article link posted here, is not correct. The hunted animals are not kept in small pens where hunters shoot them. They are in wild surroundings like they would be in their native lands. the difference is they will not be hunted to extinction as they have been in places like Pakistan.

What is canned hunting?

This is canned hunting

At first I thought canned hunting was about people who
complain about killing animals or fish but will gladly
go to the store and buy meat and fish. Ha HA
