Just Saturday (two days ago) the remains of a couple of deer, maybe one calf, and a dog (all grouped close) were found by my neighbor. These remains were only yards away from my back door in Allen Co. KY.
People have told her that the patterns involved indicate a Mountain Lion is the preditor.
Yes. They are east of the Mississippi!

| My girlfriend has sworn she's seen mountain lions south of the Adirondacks in NY. Friends and family say the same. How in the world did they get here ?

| I don't see how that's very responsible. It's a heavily populated area and these cats kill people. She said the same thing. The gov't. re-introduced them without permission.

| I was four wheeling on the north side of Fawnskin in Southern California when I saw a Mountain lion cross the trail in front of me, I radioed to my friend who was following behind me, but she didn't see it. I'm a little scared to leave my vehicle when were deep in the woods these days. There was a report of a lion attacking a small boy in the same area around the same time.

| In Pennsylvania the deer population was becoming such a problem with automobile damage, the Game Commission and the Insurance Commision ( back in the late 70's and 80's) joined forces and brought Coyotes into the area (Westmoreland County) hoping to control the deer population, and in turn the coyote kiled sheep, dogs, cats, and about everything buy deer. So incomes the Cougar to try to control the Coyotes. When in the woods you can smell them, they spray their territory just like a domestic cat, so if you own a cat you will know what to smell for.

Smells like we need MAJOR government reform.

This is pure speculation on the part of conspiracy theorists. There is absolutely no evidence that either coyotes or mountain lions were transplanted to Pennsylvania by the Game Commission, insurance companies, nor anyone else. Coyotes did not need the help of anyone. In fact, the Game Commission publicized the presence of coyotes well before the late 1970's -- as early as 1940. Check this out:

That states it pretty straight. About mountain lions, here are some thoughts from the same writer (who happens to be me):

There have been reports of mountain lion sightings in western Wisconsin. Well I guess I may have another critter to watch out for besides wolves and bears while deer hunting in a couple of weeks.

Up in Ontario Canada (Orillia), the government in their infinite wisdom recently dropped off six cougars into the bush to try to cull the coyote and wild turkey population.... without notifying the public. Now they are killing the livestock.

Do a google for mountains lions in what ever state you wish to learn if there are any there.
Do a google to learn if we have any Ocelots left anywhere in the USA!

| I have seen the black exotic cats many times over the years - in upstate NY. The first time I saw one of these cats I was about 10 years old. I have had several run out in front of my vehicle when I was driving (including some cubs). One time I had one lying in the sun at the edge of my mowed lawn - I thought it was the neighbor's black german shepherd until it stood up and stretched and its tail was about as long as its body! It was so close that I could see the ends of its hair was an orangish color from being sun burnt. I had been grooming my horse (thank God he was blind on that side!) and it would look at me and my horse and then look away. Later, I was so paranoid that all I could think that cat was thinking was - I'm not hungry just yet! I moved to NC in 2005 thinking I had left these big cats behind - but my husband's boss, seen one right behind the gas station off of Exit 23 on I77! Guess I was wrong! I don't know about down here in NC - but I do know that in NY the state was secretly importing them to cut down on the deer/vehicle crashes - to save insurance companies money - of course the state would never fess up - imagine the liability if someone was ever hurt/eaten by one! In recent years, they have moved up to importing wolves and coyotoes as well - and I have seen these too. People may think I am full of it but this is God's honest word!

Every state/federal wildlife agency continues to deny their presence, except to say, they may be relased/escaped pets. If all the sightings are of "released/escaped" pets, from which agency are the cats being released???
Contray to popular belief, 65% of all witnesses are very credible individuals with backgrounds in law enforcement, forestry or wildlife.
We would like to hear from anyone who knows of a report between the 1920s & today.....
If you wish to discuss the issue privately, we can be reached at:

A few years ago, there were two incidents where Detroit TV news showed video footage of cougars and asked if they were dogs and said they were probably escaped pets.
Here's an interesting article that gives numerous examples of the DNR and other states' agencies denying the existence of cougars or claimimg that they are escaped pets. It offers the explanation for this being that Florida is the only state that gets federal funds for cougars. Ninety percent of Michigan's DNR (Department of Natural Resources) funds go to the employees. Admiiting the existence of wild cougars might cut into their paycheck.http://www.miwildlife.org/news-detail.asp?id=20
It covers instances all over the country.
