My favorite line:

quote:

---

The mother and daughter say city officials told them not to reveal their last names or addresses, for fear that hunters with high-powered rifles or animal rights groups trying to protect the cats may encroach on their property.

Is this real life??? haha

It just doesn't stop

quote:

---

After her experience, Bickly said she and her husband sat on their back deck for a while with deer rifles just in case the big cats came around the house and spooked their horses.

---

quote:

---

Sarah said the older of the two baby black cougars is the size of a grown German Shepherd and the smaller one is about the size of a collie. The larger baby has white back feet, while the younger one has a white stripe inside its back leg.
The adults are as tall as the back bumper on her 2006 Ford Mustang, she said, because she came out early one morning and saw one standing there while her cat cowered beneath the car.

PROOF!!!!!!

And the comments are just as unintentionally hilarious.

Bloody morons.

quote:

---

large paw prints around their home and on their back porch sliding glass door

---

can kitty please come in the house?

“I know they are out there. I have seen them. Trust me, mine are very confirmed,” Bickly said.


I can't tell you how many times I have heard pretty much that exact line. Find tracks, obvious canine, and get to point out the neighborhood Sheppard/lab.----And sadly, it is usually preceded by "I am a hunter, I know what I saw".

So much fail in that article.

quote:

---

Like Julie and Sarah, she described it as big and black, with lime green eyes and a long tail.

---

I can't stop laughing at the lime green eyes!

I thought the eyes were more of an amber color...

I would love to see the trap setup.

found a copy of the trap in action!!!!!!!!!!!

He said he is not sure why the city used fish guts as bait to try to catch the big cats.

---
