Radio collars should be banned, by law, for use like this.<BR/><BR/>Don Molde<BR/>Reno, NevadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209058.post-75407718082835418442007-09-07T16:34:00.000-07:002007-09-07T16:34:00.000-07:00Mr. Hovatter, the spokesperson for Region IV AGFD ...Mr. Hovatter, the spokesperson for Region IV AGFD in Yuma, AZ, stated the following quote taken from a recent cougar update. If lions are so hard to catch and collar why did they kill this lion after just about 3 months of research data?<BR/> <BR/>"Given how hard it is to catch lions here, collaring of sheep has proven to be a good way to get data on lion predation (it’s worked for us on the Cabeza Prieta and in the Black Mountains) and other sources of mortality, i.e., we get a mortality signal and go to the site to determine cause of death. Barring rain, if the animal killed was an adult, we can make a predation determination weeks afterward . . .can still see drag marks, remains still cached, scat, tracks, etc.." {End Quote}<BR/> <BR/>If the AGFD and KNWR staffs collar bighorn to track predation, then they can indiscriminately kill all the lions because it would be impossible to determine the "offending lion".....<BR/><BR/>Ron KearnsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209058.post-89855257437948373122007-09-07T16:03:00.000-07:002007-09-07T16:03:00.000-07:00Killing a Puma for being a Puma. Folks like Cheney...Killing a Puma for being a Puma. Folks like Cheney were probably ticked that this creature could actually go out and HUNT for his prey, as opposed to stomping around brush waiting for someone to open a cage to set birds free.<BR/><BR/>They probably didn't even bother to get out of their helicopter to shoot the poor animal. Just tracked him with the GPS, moved in, hovered, shot, and left.Curtis Dutielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274059701533710827noreply@blogger.com
