IT IS?! I was under the assumption it wasn't. Either way hunting in general is disgusting and only people I respect who hunt are people who EAT what they hunt and wear what they hunt.
knowing what cats are like, the idea of a cat the siz of a large german shepherd seems kinda bad.
i think lynx/maine coon is about the largest cat people can handle as a pet. anything else gets a bit laceration-y and severed artery-alike. by all means try to keep something larger, but don't moan when you have to call the amberlamps because tibbles stole a leg of lamb out the oven and then mauled you when you tried to take it back
1. The states that allow the hunting of mountain lions have healthy populations, and so they give away a certain number of hunting tags every year to keep the population in check while also raising money for conservation.
2. The meat tastes great.
3. In states where the hunting of mountain lions is banned (e.g. California) the population is out of control, and there are more and more attacks on people and livestock.
4. Also, just because there isn't a hunting season on them in places like California doesn't mean that they aren't killed. The states where cougar hunting is banned will hire animal control shooters to cull the mountain lions, leaving them to rot in the wilderness.
Because we have enough of them that it won’t make them go extinct to hunt them every now and then , if grizzlies were as common as cougars we’d be hunting them also
I think the hysteria over them is unwarranted. They’re a nuisance in certain areas and I’m fine with limited tags being given out if the population is healthy or they’re taking out livestock. The real fact is it’s fucking hard to hunt a mountain lion. Joe Blow isn’t getting a tag and bagging one unless he’s extremely lucky. I wouldn’t even bother unless I was with a professional with trained hounds. They just roam too far and are too elusive to walk around and think you’ll get one.

Yeah that's not encouraging.

You’ve obviously never been innawoods or even just basic hiking. Get the fuck off my board you piece of shit
You'd be more scared if you spent more time outside. There are things in North America that enjoy hunting you. >wake up in cabin pre-dawn >something is wiggling door handle >grab raifu head to door >just moving spooked it off
yeah i read there's like 1 lion per 60 miles or something which I think is bullshit. on my local nextdoor, people post about 10 pictures of mountian lions everyday. there's gotta be like 30 of them in a 40 sq mile area. and there's little rural streets where EVERYONE's pet is missing. like 10 people with missing dogs and cats in 1 rural cul-de-sac. some local expert is claiming that due to encroachment, pets are livestock the cougars #1 food source and deer are now #2.

I bet half of them are people driving off the mountain roads. People die on ACH on a regular basis.

Way more potent witches in Berlin.
They want to kill babies and hate kids but refuse to eat animals and lay a track of pronouns and SSRI medications to lure in men in the flesh while holding men, they cursed to lay with other men or think they are women, as pets.
Follow the tracks and she will curse you with a rape charge or an unloved only child spawned from an almost empty egg carton later becoming a witch, her pet or an Andrew Tate fan: A warlock.
Governments don't want to scare people into not visiting national parks, state forests or prominent coastal destinations, especially tourists. For example, here in Australia, we have a lot of people who go swimming and are never seen again. A large number of these are almost certainly shark and/or crocodile attacks, but because there isn't a body, and the government doesn't want to scare away tourists, they are classified either as drownings or disappearances. This is the dirty little secret of animal attacks, both terrestrial and marine. it happens far more often than people want to admit.
The same book (Death in the Long Grass) has a chapter on crocodiles that really evokes the same feeling. Capstick himself shows particular disdain for them. Throughout the chapter, he describes about how he and a client hunted down a man-eating crocodile that had taken a woman. This is what one of Capstick's trackers said to him and his client after they went back to camp after witnessing the woman being dragged underwater. >"'There is nothing for it, Bwana,' he intoned with the exaggerated fatalism of the bush African. 'It has always been so. Always has ngwenya [crocodile] been waiting; always will he wait.'"
This is the final paragraph from the chapter, after they killed the crocodile: >"Mason and I sat, smoking slowly in the warm sun, watching the men skin the man-eater and place what they could find of the woman in a plastic bag. her head and one arm and shoulder were missing, as best I could tell. Somehow, the killing of the crocodile had felt anticlimactic, and I wondered if there wasn't something more to the episode than a woman being eaten and a croc being killed. No, I finally decided, it was exactly that simple. It had been going on for a million years and would continue as long as there were people, crocodiles, and water. >"But, at least, I thought on the walk back to camp, that's one ngwenya who won't be waiting."

Mountain lion hunters eat their catch.
>only people I respect who hunt are people who EAT what they hunt
so 99% of hunters? In fact, human hunters tend to eat more of a carcass than wolves.

They're cute but still large enough to be dangerous. You should keep a healthy distance from them. Respect their space and they'll respect yours.
fuck your bussy cat
Never knew they used that paw motion to intimidate people from their territory. Looks goofy as shit.
Watch the whole thing
These precious creatures need our protection
I wanna pet the cats and fall into a deep sleep while cuddling with them.

Enjoy your toxoplasmosis.
As long as the meat is cooked thoroughly, you don't have anything to worry about. You treat it just like pork.
>2. The meat tastes great.
What would you compare it to?
Similar to lean pork. Very mild flavor.
So it doesn't taste great
why do people act like its impossible to tame these, I literally hand fed rabbit to one, its just like a regular cat
To make a very beautiful coat/cloak/blanky
Cute. I wanna pet em if I can keep my body intact doing so
I am very worried about Messi in the current conflict
will they be able to afford or even access enough food for him?
will his owner be conscripted?
I doubt they'll conscript famous youtubers. They're the only propaganda tool left to convince people that some Russians may not be savages.
pissi cougitini
That is the hardest "fuck marry kill" picture I've ever seen.
Big cat meat tastes incredibly good.
I imagine it's filled to the brim with parasites and shit. regular house cats are fucking disgusting from a hygienic standpoint
What's with you and hunting morality? Move on or leave newfag.
They taste really nice, apparently.
Because we have enough of them that it won’t make them go extinct to hunt them every now and then , if grizzlies were as common as cougars we’d be hunting them also
>Why is it allowed to hunt such a beautiful c- AHCK!!!!!
>3:10: Gosh. Where's my gun.
How do you even hunt them?
Even finding deer can be difficult, Mountain Lions are one of the most elusive animals in the world.
Dogs.
If the state doesn't allow it, hunting them is almost impossible, see oregon.
>why are you allowed
Found the eurocuck
I want to pet this creature
Sure you do, Anon.
I see them in Arizona. they don't bother people.
Hunting is for uncivilized gays

They're allowed to hunt you, it's only fair.
They eat a deer a week and contrary to propaganda they will be in high concentrations in areas.

Yeah I bet no Malinois or Sheepdogs are missing. Skill issue tbqh
You realize these things can move up to 20 miles per day right?
Because managing cats in areas where people live is important, cougars are great eating, and hunting them is hard as hell.
Because it's tasty af.
this may be apocryphal, but I once heard that in Appalachia they go for niglets first because they scream when they run. I second not hunting Pumas.
Because cat is allowed to hunt people
Simple as
It's more a defensive action than hunting.
It's easy to face a mountain lion. Iirc it's been a while since a human was killed by one.
And yet thousands of people disappear in National Parks every year.
Yeah it’s definitely the mountain lions. We should exterminate all of them.
I have a feeling that Bigfoot is behind it

This is Bermuda Triangle levels of nothing.
has none remembered Hansel and Gretel? it is dangerous to go into the wood alone because trails and plans fail in the magic of the woods.
You only have to worry about magical beings in the woods in Europe because they hunted all the native wildlife to near extinction.

Yeah but there’s actual sources for that.
1958 and 2021, there were only 29 open cold cases for missing individuals at national parks
Thats only those who were reported.
so you can speak for those.. that weren't? where's your citation? or do you want to just keep on with the weird innawoods fearporn mentality?
You’ve obviously never been innawoods or even just basic hiking. Get the fuck off my board you piece of shit
How would him believing that lead you to believe he doesn’t go in the woods?

>face a mountain lion
and when they hunt they don't FACE you, retard.
they will pounce on you from behind.
Just turn around every once in a while retard.
They have seasons for them in the western mountain states, at least in small numbers.
People keep moving into the wilderness and crying when their shit dog is eaten.
bitch please if they are interested they will come OUT from the wilderness.
that's about right
