If there are feral hogs anywhere near, they will run around in populous

that have eaten the roses and hibiscus. Mountain lions have been seen at
the local middle and grimmer schools.

They call those cats "Florida Panthers" here and you can't harm them
or interfere with their activities, even if they are eating your
livestock, pets or kids. Endangered species don't you know, in spite
of the fact that they are genetically identical to your mountain lion
and have been intentionally cross bred with Texas cougars (again same
cat)

They are not endangered here either. Can not hunt them anymore, so they
became pretty fearless. They are decimating big horn sheep, etc. if
they are eating your livestock, the state will send in a high priced to the
taxpayers shooter.

They can't do anything with them here but keep moving them around
until they get hit by a car.

Maybe you need a couple joggers killed, and then they will allow some
things.
Not a lot of jogging going on where the cougars are but a kid is not
out of the question. I also imagine there is some SSS activity going
on.

About 4 years ago we had a big one amble across the road in front of
us out on Sanibel, less than half a mile from a big condo
development.

We had one living in the scrub a number of years ago but I think that
may have been the same one that got hit by the cop car at the airport
because nobody saw it here again. In those days you could get from
here to the airport and never really get out of the woods by following
the FPL right of way to 41 and then going through the vacant land
north of the Alico rd industrial park. The new gated communities north
of me west of 41 pretty much cut off that woods tho. There is still a
lot of vacant land north of Alico tho.
