So whats a good recipe for Cat? I've heard it can taste pretty decent, actually. Apparently, Biker has no qualms on eating it!
You cook that cat roast like you would a pork roast.
I put a half inch of water in the bottom of the crock pot, throw the roast in followed by quartered red spuds, baby carrots, quartered onions, Italian seasoning, garlic salt and a crushed clove or two of fresh garlic and six hours later you will be in culinary heaven.
By Gawd, I think I'm gonna get a tag and go out lookin' for Snagglepuss!
Biker...Droozlin'

Maybe email the link to Rush or Sean and see what their listeners think about it

When I was a teen, we had one of these. XR7 model, 1968. Stolen weeks before my 16th birthday.
Might have saved my life, but I'm still bummed.
$1400 is a small fee for my life, the lives of my wife, and my dogs, if I had to pay it. Still stupid.
Next time use a bow. It's silent. A cougar ought to fit in a few standard garbage bags, if you have no good place to dig a hole.

Shoot first ask questions later. If I was in that mans shoes I would have done the same thing. No questions asked.

If the roles were changed.....
If she were being attacked by the mountain lion, I wonder if she'd tell a nearby police officer, "Oh please don't shoot the lion. He's only doing what comes naturally....... killing and eating me so he'll be stronger for his children.

Boulder was incorporated in April of 1882 ... this isn't exactly a matter of "suburbia encroaching on the wild lands" ... that area has been densely populated for more than the last century.Millwright said:
People have been living with these cats for as long ... and shooting them when they attack people/livestock/pets.

I tried to get onto the comments section of "sinapu" where the readers' comments were being posted. The comments were 100% against Sinafu and all for the person who defended his dogs, wife and himself. I wanted to post my 2 cents worth but they shut it down. They said there were too many "personal attacks" on the writer of the story but in reality, the gist of most comments was to give support for the cougar shooter and wonder which planet that sinafu was living on to accuse the shooter of "baiting the cougar" with his dogs!

Just off the wire- No charges!

BOULDER (AP) - State wildlife officials have decided against charging a Wisconsin man who shot and killed a mountain lion that attacked his dog.
The man, who is living temporarily in the foothills near Nederland, said he shot the mountain lion Oct. 5 when the big cat wouldn't release the dog. The state law allows people to shoot a mountain lion if their personal safety or livestock are threatened, but officials said they didn't know if that extended to dogs.
However, Kathi Green, acting manager for the Colorado Division of Wildlife's northeast region, said an investigation found that the man acted in accordance with the law to protect his personal safety.
The division didn't release the man's name.
DOW spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill said wildlife officers recommended that the man keep his dogs inside while in an area known to be a mountain lion habitat.
The division advises people in person and on its Web site to keep pets under control because they will attract mountain lions.
"We're disappointed because I think it sends the wrong message about personal responsibility in mountain lion country," said Wendy Keefover-Ring of Boulder-based Sinapu, which advocates restoration and protection of such native carnivores as wolves and mountain lions.
Keefover-Ring said she doesn't disagree with people protecting their personal safety, but believes the circumstances of the shooting are unclear.
The man told wildlife officers that he was awakened early in the morning and went outside where the dog was chained up. He said a mountain lion had the dog in its mouth and wouldn't let it go even after he yelled at it.
The man said he went inside for his rifle and shot the cat.
Keefover-Ring said state and local animal-cruelty laws say people shouldn't place their pets in harm's way.
"Tying dogs up at night in mountain lion country is probably not appropriate behavior," she said.

Well, pretty much the whole state is mountain lion habitat
I'm glad the guy didn't get charged.
The original article said the guy was doing wildfire mitigation (that means cutting brush and small trees). I'm wondering if his "house" was actually some sort of camper (RV) ??? That might be pretty tight with the dogs and a "friend" staying over for the night.
BTW, we've been on a "bring the dogs and cats in before dark" program all summer since we lost two cats this spring, and we have cougar "sign" in our yard several times a week. That's getting harder to do now with the short days. We're also being darn careful ourselves outside at night, carrying a flashlight and shining it all around as we walk.

Customarily only once a year, and they usually loose.... Well, except this year. Must have been some kind of fluke.
Glad they dropped the charges, though...

Y'all will notice..
that Ms Keefover-ring does not advocate her moving herself out of state and having her home bulldozed to make more habitat for that wascawwy puddytat.
Another case of "Do what I want, but I ain't willing to do it" Or, the Boulder experience....

uhhhh...
...what restore?...There ain't no shortage of the dang things around here...
I can drive to within 200 ft of a big cats' cave and you can smell the dang thing from the road!
I hate this crap...People move around this state with blinders on...I've seen deer and elk hunters from out-of-state walk right past that very cave and under the nose of a mature male and never see, smell or even comment about the habitat...If people didn't smell and taste so bad, there'd be plenty of 'em planted by cougars...they just like the taste of venison and a little thrill of the chase...No challenge huntin' humans...
