December 16, 201411 yr The article said you cannot own one in KY after 2005, but that some owners were grandfathered in at that time. Yeah, I just went back and read that.
December 16, 201411 yr There are 700 comments under one of those articles (WYMT or LEX18). Everyone is outraged. I don't get it. Do you really want a giant mountain lion running around your homes?Animal rights advocates, for the most part, are completely devoid of common sense. That is definitely not aimed at anyone in this thread.
December 16, 201411 yr So the new term for shooting is euthanize?Yeah, I thought that was pretentious too. The author was probably trying to quell some of the backlash.
December 16, 201411 yr I don't care if you can own one or not. KILL IT! We don't need Mt Lion's roaming around the streets of KY.
December 16, 201411 yr What did people expect these guys to do? Feed it some 9 Lives and dump out some kitty litter? This is a violent, meat eater. When it gets hungry, it will eat. I suspect that people outside of that area are the ones complaining the most.
December 16, 201411 yr Do they have any positive proof that it was someone's pet? It's not out of the realm of possibility that it could be a wild animal. This isn't a Siberian Tiger or a Lion roaming around, it is in animal that at one time was native to this area. Let's just say it is a wild animal, then I do see a very logical argument for why you don't shoot it...
December 16, 201411 yr I wonder what Mountain Lion tastes like? Dude, I was JUST wondering that myself! LOL
December 16, 201411 yr It sounds like this posed a challenging scenario. Ideally an endangered species would be trapped and re-located. However, from what I read, there were not the resources nor the time to do this. I hate to see an animal like this killed, but I agree this is a big powerful animal to be roaming around.
