fishinwrench Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Terribly sorry that happened to your dog, wrench. Your neighbor owes you more than the bill and I hope he has more character when it comes time to pay than he did when a story about a boogie kitty made him take pot shots into his property. Had he even seen any tracks or did he have any notion a mountain lion was there? On the other hand, it's probably worth pointing out that free running dogs will eventually become prey for mountain lions when and if a population does establish. I'm reasonably convinced that there WAS a cougar initially, but things (ie; people) went a little crazy in the days following.... as always happens in cases like this I'm sure. A little bit of small town drama + a bunch of bored people = Impending disaster and escalating drama. As ticked off as I am I can't deny that I knew the crap was going on, and I even made the comment that "I hope one of these idiots doesn't shoot my dog"... the very day before it happened. I should have put him on lockdown until the $#!t blew over. I just underestimated the stupidity of these jackasses. Never again!

I was at Roxborough today before the Broncos game and found 3 different sets of mountain lion tracks along the same trail where 8-10 year old kids were scrambling around and there were kid-sized snow angels all along the trail. The snow fell last night so all that happened this morning. Your neighbor's hysteria is vastly more dangerous than the cats.
