Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18761706 It's the result of what predators do once there numbers are too high ! Wolves pose the same problem , " they decimate the game population " They literally hunt it out ! Predators must be hunted , I'm sorry everything can't be a Disney movie guys It doesn't even matter because retards already one , just look at the result Nothing I said on this thread even matters , the war is already lost I hope the lions and wolves rise up and eat all the retards! |

(OP) User ID: 59244378 United States 06/16/2014 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My grandmother grew up in the hills of Arkansasway back in the 30s. Her brother was attacked by a bobcat with rabies. It was in his barn loft and jumped on his back. He choked it to death in a struggle for life and death. By then they had a shot for rabies and lived, but received a shit ton of stitches. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59098936 My grandmother told of seeing them up in trees ready to pounce on whatever happened along. She said that her daddy pounded it in her head that if she ever heard one scream up close to quickly jump as far as she could because they scream right before they pounce. wow. We have some pretty good sized ones around here, the locals don't like them one bit. "It's a friendly friendly world" (Andy Kaufman) Calm seas do not a sailor make, Nor easy horses, a horseman.

Quoting: Chip Bottom line...environmentalists are fucking retarded. 22,000 deer per week are slaughtered by lions. 22,000! You know how many families that could feed? here, there are too many deer because they don't let them kill enough. it's been alleged many fish and game departments are releasing big cats.

They seem to believe that people are required to keep nature in balance - as if nature can't handle itself. I even posted the stats on cougar attacks in California - despite the high number of cats, they aren't going after people. Unlike humans, who feel the need to kill other creatures simply for existing and having the potential to be deadly, these cats have learned to coexist alongside us and have very VERY rarely posed any threat to human beings. |
