Mountain lions kill 15 dogs in 30 days near a Colorado town

Pam Rose texted a Colorado Parks and Wildlife official on the evening of Dec. 9 to tell him she had started to fear for her 11-year-old daughter’s safety because two mountain lions seemed to be casing...

I like how the one guy is now carrying a spear for protection.

Once the wolves and grizzlies are re-established, the mountain lions won't seem so bad...

Cannon says the lion attacked a dog at a home 400 yards from Andelman’s and that during the attack, the dog’s owner killed the lion. She reiterated what Peterson had said, that it’s illegal to kill a lion to protect a pet but that in this instance CPW won’t be pressing charges due to “the totality of the circumstances.”

I wish I could transplant my neighbors dogs there. They keep running deer at night on my property…..I would love to see them have an encounter with that kitty cat

I live and run hounds in the general area, there are a lot of cats in the developed areas on the Front Range. They don't get hunted and as a result never learn fear of people and dogs. There are plenty of us that would love access to run our dogs in the area, but the type of people that live there don't like that idea. This is precisely what they deserve.

But what is the cost of a Mt lion tag?

 

[FLATHEAD]

The cats are living where they cant be hunted.
Like many game animals.
I drive an hour to a local WMA,,,,see nothing until
I get back to the neighborhood and an 8pt. crosses
in front of me.

It would obviously be cruel to kill something that is eating people pets alive....no hope for the USA any longer.

Shoot, shovel, shut-up.

I imagine a majority of these people voted for the re introduction of wolves to the state.

Nederland is where people move to when Boulder is too expensive or too conservative for them. It’s right up the road. All cat lovers until very recently.

Has anybody read the book "A Beast in the Garden"? It's literally about this exact same scenario in the exact same region but took place 20 or 30 years ago.

I used to live in Ned which is how I came across this book.

Edit: This should be required reading if moving into the mountains of Boulder County or anywhere along the Front Range. Then maybe people wouldn't be surprised when a mountain lion jumps a 6 ft fence with a German Shepherd in its jaws. (That happened near Nederland and is detailed in the book).

Just shoot the ******* things before they eat someone’s kids. With wolves on the horizon those people back there are in for a rude awakening. Everyone is a nature lover until nature things happen.

Some won't get it, it's one of those cross forum posts.

Yep stole my line.

S S S ...ph ck these CO. P & W lunatics, those local people need to take control of their animals and lives.
Colorado is a s-hole. Idaho's Gov would likely tell F&G to resolve this or for folks to kill the damn cats.

I get it.

Ughhh, ok, I don't get it.
