Mountain lions, or cougars, have been spotted in Illinois, entering the state from Wisconsin and Missouri. These sightings have been few and far between, though, and most have been without foundation. The TV spot below and THIS recent article may get you thinking. What a story! A magnificent animal just trying to survive. This is why I carry Cat Chow and a rubber mouse. Nice kitty.Thursday, April 16, 2009

Sad story. Why couldn't they tranquilize the cougar and transfer him to a back country somewhere?
Good question. Maybe he posed an immediate threat or attacked someone's dog ("Quick, we have to destroy him"). He could have been tranquilized and moved somewhere, no doubt, but someone made the decision to end the life of this magnificent traveler. It's a shame.
