So this is a REALLY old thread but I couldn't help the reaction that led me to post a reply.
1. Why get a dog to "keep the lion at bay" until you can shoot at it when the dog would likely be hurt or killed? Why put a pet in such danger?
2. If the lion is eating your animals, why have animals in that area? If you can afford to buy guns and a house in a place where there are lions, then you can afford to buy food and don't need to raise your own livestock...
3. Don't you realize that the lion is eating your animals because that's an instinctual behavior? The lion doesn't have to be punished for doing what nature tells it to do. People who own livestock in areas where mountain lions live are the ones breaking the rules and who should RESPECT nature and an animal like that. It's like sitting in the middle of a highway and getting mad when cars hit you.
The lion's doing nothing wrong and killing it just seems violent, cruel, and inhumane. :yell: :( Makes me so sad and sick.
If I've misunderstood something let me know. Sorry for the rant over a very old post but the cruelty and suffering is no doubt continuing.
