i suppose given the circumstances, they did what they had to do....but the weird thing was, they did a news piece on it the other night, "cougar seen in neighbourhood" and they acted like it was impossible since the zoos didn't report a cat missing...it was like they thought someone had called in a hoax or something....

Here's what people should be up in arms about. The fact that all this suburban development is encroaching on the cougar's habitat. And then people get all surprised'n'shit because the animal's pissed off over all the talking apes in its back yard scaring the food away.
I say they should've darted it and-
since they obviously weren't going to tear down the invasive neighborhood, relocate the animal that clearly could've killed kids but opted not to.
This is a lesson to the courgars. If your home range is invaded by the apeman then take one of the hairless bitches out for they kill you on sight!
