“You must live in a city and have never been stalked by a big lion.”
Right on. Everyone needs to live somewhere where they aren’t at the top of the food chain (other than Chicago), so they would know what it is like to REALLY live with nature. I’m not for wholesale slaughter when it isn’t necessary, but sometimes it just is. These cats aren’t just beautiful animals, they are killers, and they would get any of us in a heartbeat if they could.
Are you talking about the politicians or about that mountain lion that was killed about 1.5 miles from my house (Chicago Proper as in 1 mile from the lake as Michigan) a few years back?
