There is no such thing as the Florida Panther anymore. They are just
garden variety mountain lions since they were cross bread with Texas
cougars.
There are already plenty of oil wells here with no ill effect on the
cougars or the aquifers. It turns out these cats have no problem
living around people. The people do have a problem with the cats tho,
when they start losing pets, farm animals and wondering when a kid
will be next.
These are the same cats that eat joggers in California.
Maybe we should drop a dozen in Southern Md and let you "enjoy" them
too.

Greg the Anti-Environmentalist. Love it.

I do understand how the endangered species act is written.

The "Florida Panther" lost it's endangered status, legally, over 2
decades ago and a court case proved it.
When people bring it up they are simply hoping nobody actually
understands it. You fell for the lie but that is not shocking.

You're confused. You're hung up on definitions and I'm saying if there
are big cats living in the areas under question they should be left
alone. They certainly are as valuable a resource as any of the rednecks
who live in your area.

I guess the part you don't understand is we are talking about Golden
Gate Estates, a place about as densely populated as where you live. It
is certainly not a wilderness area.

The real problem with the cougars is that they are territorial and the
available territories are already occupied so they are expanding their
range into residential areas. We have the same problem with the bears.
I am sure you would be complaining to someone if a bear broke into
your house looking for a meal.
You might even shoot it if it was between you and the door.

My wife thinks there is a bear of some sort in the woods behind the
house. She saw a "large, brownish/blackish animal, much bigger than a
German shepherd and not a deer" moving quickly back there.

Oh...if a bear was blocking my way to the door, I'd go to another door.
I wouldn't shoot it. I don't walk around the yard "armed."
