Not a smart thing to say.
Today I returned from a visit with a man who lives near Gross Reservoir, up the mountain from the Domain of the Demented, A.K.A. Boulder, CO.
One of he things I managed to accomplish was obtaining a copy of the autopsy of a resident who was killed and eaten by a cougar some years ago.
Given the level of overt unreality shown by both the game department AgencyPersons and the NGO droolers, clearly nothing was learned by that unnecessary and totally preventable death.
The same chain of events that led to a student being mauled, killed, and eaten within sight of his high school is recurring as I type.
AgencyPersons are so defensive of their funding and their salaries that even when a cougar tried to jump through a window to grab the woman who sat in her living room in front of said window living there, nothing was done about killing the cats.
For those who have not seen what a bear can do to a human, google up “Kootoo Shaw, bear”; google images will have them on your screen quickly. WARNING: Make sure dinner has past the no return point - the images are very real. Not for kiddies before bedtime!
Injuries like these are acceptable to the game management chappies in agencies all too likely to be active in your state.
I will post the White Paper on predator management mismanagement soon.
In the meantime, EAT MO BEAR!
Just remember to cook it well, unless you like trichinosis.
PS Does anyone have a recipe for cougar? I am trying to track down how the Indians ate the ones Louis & Clarke said were on the diet of the indigenous.
