What state do you live in that rabies is that much of a problem?

Possums are as close to immune to rabies as any mammal gets, so I'm guessing he's living in fantasy land. I grew up on a 40 acre farm and spent all my time at my friend's 400 acre farm. We had one rabid coon in 20+ years. We shot it and buried it. The erratic behavior, making weird noises and foaming at the mouth didn't require a brain test.

Excellent point.

Yes, definitely the attitude of the story: “How dare this man kill the attacking animal! He must have chrated, must have broken the LAW somehow .”

But a women killed a wild animal with her bare hands. She strangled i.But a women killed a wild animal with her bare hands. She strangled i.

It was a bobcat. Less than half the size of a full grown panther, but the cat in this story was a juvenile, so it might not have been much bigger.

I’ll call your bluff on that. Possums don’t get rabies. They aren’t warm enough.

Crushed the trachea. Many big cats kill that way, too. He’s fortunate that the lion didn’t bite his trachea, then disembowel him with its hind claws.

Yup,
Our resident bear killer!

I shot 3 very aggressive, wobbling/running after me. No mouth foam, but snarling and screeching. Brains tested positive at PA Fish & Game Commission Lab for rabies, like the coons and dog.

PA. That was back in 1997-78, when we seemed to have an epidemic. That ebbed in early 2000.

I remember reading that...can’t remember who that was.

I am drawn to bear threads. There is something horrifying, magnificent, and yet, hilarious about bears.

I blame it on the Far Side cartoons!

Gillette would not want this in their commercial. “Boys will be boys.” Too masculine.

But by the grace of God this man was prepared and able.

[Osage Orange]

Meaning run over the Senate?

I'm good with that...all of them!!

[daniel1212]

poorly written article...too many she/he/they said etc...... the tone of the article is almost like they think the guy MURDERED the cougar.......

Many question the claim of self-defense, and the suspect is undergoing interrogation. A spokesperson encouraged any (four-legged) eye-witnesses to come forward. Next of (cougar) kin have been notified. The mother attested that her son was a good cat, traveling his own yard and who did not deserve to be killed.

Racial motives are also been considered as it is reported that the killer is white, with Al Sharpton commenting that this appears to be another example of white supremacy.

[TigersEye]

In other words, the human is being treated as a suspect in a murder case.

I've lived in Larimer county for over thirty years and that just doesn't jibe with the reputation wildlife officers have here. They're the best.

They're also doing him a big favor by not releasing his name. If they do he will be subject to weeks of death threats and harassment from the peace, love and brown rice tree hugger types.

That's what happened to a guy who shot a mountain lion here that had been stalking his children where they waited for the school bus. That was a decade or so ago. The state had no problem with him but the oh-so tolerant eco-wacko libtards wanted him dead for protecting his kids. That seems to be a theme with liberals.

That brought a smile ;}

Hope this evening finds you all well.
