This story takes on a whole new meaning. How the hell did this thing get into this big of a populated area? www.chicagotribune.com/ |

This story takes on a whole new meaning. How the hell did this thing get into this big of a populated area? www.chicagotribune.com/It sounds like it came from the North, since they had sightings in North Chicago and Wilmette last week. Still odd though since there's populated areas on and off for about 60 miles north of where the cougar was killed. By the way, am I the only one not shocked the Chicago police shot the thing instead of letting animal control tranquilize it? |

Not at all the type of cougar I was expecting.

However, CPD is still working on the finer elements of "control." 1. Bang! 2. Freeze! |

Big deal, shoot it. The Iowa DNR has done "too good" of a job of reintroducing them. I don't think they are endangered anymore. What role does a cougar (real, large cat type) in the Chicago ecosystem?

Saw the footage last night. The CPD claimed self defense. What a joke. They cornered it and opened fire.

The cougar would have been shot much sooner by Iowa City Police considering it probably would have been purchasing a gyro and making lewd remarks to freshmen girls outside the FieldWhore.

ICPD would have given the cougar a field soberity test prior to shooting it. Suspicions would have been raised once they saw the cougar leaving the Deadwood with a cloud of smoke around his head. |
