"Lions, Bears, wild horses"? Who was talking about killing them? A lion killed a deer. There is no bear hunting on the NV side of the basin. Wild horses have never existed in the basin, they would die in the winter.
Why don't you go back to where you came from. We are in the Wild west. Thee are animals in the forest. Did he kill a person? He killed what he was meant to kill. If you people don't like living in the forest then leave. Stop killing our dear creatures that God put on this earth. Lions, Bears, wild horses ....OH My! Leave and stop taking up our wild lifes home. They all lived here way before you were born.
It is always foolish to pretend a wild animal is a "pet". (Hmm, I wonder if we could get that Russian fox farm to breed a domesticated species of mountain lion?)
Lighten up. Even I recognize good satire when I see it. Remember redneck, it is better to remain quiet and seem a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Why try capturing it? It killed a deer, ate, and went on its way. I dont understand why a trap was set for this creature that did nothing wrong? It killed too close to people?? It probably chased it and caught it there, no big deal.
UR, i think you missed the sarcasm in the comment you are responding to.
lions have been in the tahoe basin since before you were born you idiot and probably after your gone if you dont want them around move to a large city and stay away
I know a lady that has a cougar as a pet. You could not pay me to have one of these for a pet. They are said to go for the head. I am from Monterey, Ca and there was an attack in Santa Cruz area at one time. No thank you. Very strong animal, powerful, the hind legs really are powerful. Whoo.
Good advice from NDoW. You are much more likely to be killed in a vehicle accident with a deer, then attacked by a mountain lion. Deer-vehicle accidents result in around 150-200 fatalities per year (State Farm).The lasttime a mountain lion killed a human was around 2007-08 in New Mexico.
NDOW should stop these lions from hunting in the Tahoe Basin. There has not been an adequate EIS to allow them to hunt deer in the TB. What if tourists hear about this and are scared away? We will petition the Governor to stop these hunts or the courts to list the deer as an endangered species. All hunters are heartless uneducated rednecks.
Nothing to fear, as long as you don't act like a deer. (People ARE on the menu.)
Note to Mountain Lion: You did not earn that deer. Someone else provided that deer for you...
Nothing to fear? Tell that to the deer.
A fresh kill can attract other predators from miles around so they will eat as much as they can as fast as they can just in case a bigger predator(like a bear) may show up.
kit-kat, The important part of your post is, "I don't get it." Research is the key to conservation. Why don't you leave them, the researchers, alone and they will do their work. There are so many people in the Tahoe basin leaving nature alone would be impossible. Man has a responsibility to help nature live within the limited habitat left available. NDOW does a fantastic job managing our wildlife and deserves everyones support.
