LAST EDITED ON Nov-27-09 AT 04:45PM (MST)[p]This happened yesterday but I'm not going to say names cause they are both elected officials.
You and your family go to your cabin in a very rural cabin community and take your family dogs with you. You turn them loose while you relax and watch football while thanksgiving dinner is being cooked. You hear the dogs barking and carrying on about 300 yards from the cabin. So you go to investigate, you get to the dogs all barking under a huge cottonwood tree. You look into the tree and there is a mtn lion just laying on a branch about 50 feet above your head. You get scared and run up to the cabin and lock the doors and call the fish and game. They disbatch an officer who is just sitting Down to his thanksgiving dinner and he heads your way. He knocks on the door and you unlock 3 locks, reach out and jerk him inside and lock the door again. Keep in mind your dogs have had this cat in the tree going on 3 hours now. You take the officer who has reassured you there is no danger to the tree but you make sure to tell your wife to lock the door. You show the officer the cat and tell him to shoot it, its a danger to everyone around here for the holidays and to your dogs.
The officer does not shoot the cat and you proceed to threaten his and his boss's job and so on until the officer grabs the dogs from beneath the tree and says have a nice day.
The cat is there because there are deer in the area and has not posed any threat to any human or livestock. The wandering cat and wandering dogs crossed paths is the only incident.
The cat did not get shot and left the tree and has not been seen again. But you call the officer again today and demand he bring a pack of dogs and hunt the cat and kill it.
Do you think the cat needs to be killed?
