This house is located in a woody area outside of the city of Naples, where lots of wild animals walk around, like bears and panthers.

Keep your pets safe if you live in an area like this!

***I would have shot the perp, don’t care.***

But, but what if it was one of those rarer than hen’s teeth Florida Panthers! Wouldn’t you be willing to give yourself for their survival!;-D

This happens when neighborhoods are built just a few miles from a Panther wildlife reserve.

“This happens when neighborhoods are built just a few miles from a Panther wildlife reserve.”

These must be “city people,” when you live out in boonies wild animals, especially in Florida are a common occurrence.

The cougar, also commonly known as the mountain lion, puma, panther, or catamount, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to the Americas. Not Panthera, puma.

Like I’ve always said, a panther can bite you or scratch you but a little pussy never hurt anybody.

India-single tiger record stands at 436 people.
Last 400 years 500k to 1 million people eaten by tigers in India.800 known man eaters on the hunt at the same time in late 19th and early 20th century.
Africa has similar human losses but the lead killer there are crocodiles.
I don’t mind looking out for my pets. Glad I live here and don’t have to go down to the river for water.
If you think these numbers are crazy read “Death in the Tall Grass” by Copstick.

Cool stats, I always learn a lot by them. But, I had always thought from what I have read that hippos cause more deaths than crocs in Africa.

Apparently Panthers have acquired the taste for cats.

All of southwest Florida is basically a wildlife preserve.
That’s a good thing. You just can’t leave your pets outside.

What the city doesn’t know won’t hurt them.

When you live on the edge of a wild area you have take precautions with your children and pets. You can no more blame a wild predator than you can your kitty when it kills a bird, lizard or whateverI.

The island of Key West is North America's start of a great songbird flyway up the East Coast. By Key West's own count, there are 40,000 cats on Key West.

Obviously the big cats need a time out and sensitivity training, maybe close the sanctuary for an afternoon and let them watch videos.
