It’s interesting how the thought of shooting the mountain lion doesn’t seem to occur as a viable option to these libs.

When I lived out there ECO types forced the reintroduction of the Mexican Grey Wolf.

Within 6 months the pack had been killed of for predation.

Sure they are pretty to look at but they are a problem to live with.

Yes, it wouldn’t be a tough choice for me if it was killing my animals.

Yeah, pens of trapped animals and his first thought seeing a mountain lion was, “Cool!”

They’re still working on the reintroduction of the Mexican Grey Wolf.

Mountain lion dead. *check*
Kids alive. *check*
Remaining livestock spared. *check*

I think I found the winner here.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When the ‘environmentally conscious’ come up against nature, nature always loses.

I notice that there was no suggestion of lion overpopulation as an explanation for the cat's behavior...

I visited an Alpaca farm for the first time this weekend. The owner said he hasn't lost any of them yet, but a bear and bobcat has been spotted in the area. The highway nearby seems to keep the bobcat on the other side, so he's happy about that.

He didn't say what he would do, but I'm sure he's ready to act if either the bear or the bobcat comes to kill and destroy his property. But maybe libs don't look at their animals as their private property.

The two Western states that Fish and Game never talk about the overpopulation of the mountain lion are CO and CA and of course the AR and enviro whack jobs in all states don’t talk about it.

You don’t punish murderers. You make every attempt to “understand” them. Notice the justifications the story gives.

They're also worried about a backlash from their environmentally conscious customers.

Here's a win/win idea: Create a pen for local mountain lions and let the eco-kooks in to pet them. Then let the hilarity ensue!

Thanks for the ping, Jaz!

That’s a beautiful Sharps. Is it original, restored or a reproduction?
