Why would you want to "take care of them"? They weren't bothering you were they?

More lions around here (Murphys) than most will know. Hasn't been a lion attack-death since the '60s, in the entire US. Right? Bears kill some but not lions. My first shot will be in the air. That, I'm sure, would end the confrontation. I'm not inclined to kill anything....for a few years now. TTC

pretty sure people have been killed since the 60s, A bike rider or two that I remember hearing about. No matter what I would rather live here where they are than deal with anything down in the city. Life in general is pretty dangerous a cougar is just one more thing.
