Though the family shooting it, then bringing it home and autopsying it? That's code for "we thought about just skinning it and not telling anyone about what really happened and jus bragging about our bad-ass cougar pelt before cooler heads prevailed."

Is someone trying to opine that the rabid animal should not have been shot?

I guess I'm missing something.

There is no controversy.

'Nuff said.

i'd like the big kitty to win once in a while.

KITTIES!
While I know it's the fast track to a well-deserved death, I really want to squinch the kitty bellies. That's a technical term.

Are they the funny ones around here?

There was on on Vancouver Island I thought that had been responsible for a handful of attacks as well.

I don't have a point.

especially when the cat was rabid. rabid animals need death like i need cold beer and hot pizza. even if they shot the animal for sport and it didnt attack them (which all reports and evidence refute), they did a service by killing a rabid animal.

Save yourself the lower-lumbar stress.

None found.

Carry on.

Mountain lion attacks human, gets killed, the humans are Bad Evil Monsters.

Pit Bull attacks human, gets killed, the pit bulls are Bad Evil Monsters.

Anyone else notice just a wee little bit of hypocrisy in those two positions?

A child at the beginning of life, no.

Silly punk.

Been in those deserts and danger lurks all over the place, wild animals are just one. Even the sun.

Faced a rabid badger once, what a scare, very lucky to have had a solid, sharpened heavy old fashioned shovel in my hands.... and no fear to swing it.

Especially on Broadway.
