Cougar News
A 124-pound cougar shot by Chicago police earlier this month is the same wild animal that was spotted in southern Wisconsin in January, Cook County officials said today.
DNA taken from the cat killed April 15 in Roscoe Village matches genetic material found in Rocky County, Wisconsin, following a cougar sighting there on Jan. 15, authorities said.
And this just in - we are facing a Cougar Invasion!
Police are investigating an unconfirmed cougar sighting early Wednesday on the Northwest Side. The latest sighting is about 2.5 miles from where Chicago Police fatally shot a cougar April 14 in the Roscoe Village neighborhood.
An anonymous citizen reported seeing a cougar near the intersection of North California and West Lawrence avenues about 3:15 a.m., according to a Lincoln District police sergeant.

Next cougar siting....19-P
Let the liberal tree huggers deal with it.
Maybe bags of catnip?
Really big bags.
I'm calling for an assist by aminal welfare and CFD. Mybe the "heroes" can hose the mf'er into the back of a van where a net ,taser and hug can be deployed without harming an Arab illegal immigrant.
In the meantime I'm gonna nurse my hangover while J-Fed twiddles his thumbs and plays "switch".
Mr. SouthSide says---
I guess these cougars are afraid to come to the south side.
Liberals must make tastier meals.
if i had one of those new SUVs i would of just ran his ass over!
Wait until Obama does not get the Democratic nomination despite having the majority of the popular vote.
Then we will have an invasion of cats, more specifically an invasion of Black Panthers!
Get your M4 training now.
All part of the diabolic plan of The Man.
is it the same one from teasers?
Was in Vegas a couple weeks ago met this cougar from Wisconsin, awesome purred like a kitten not a cougar,even licked her paws when she was done,wonder if she knew the deceased ?
Use your radar gun!!
Seatbelt missions are an effective cougar deterent.
Who cares about a cougar? If I see one I'll shoot it and take my 3day stress leave.
FAX JUST CAME IN TODAY "JUST CAUSE AGAINST COUGARS"
I luv cougars, you can find alot of them at any 4 00 am bar.
Cougars like all animals, including human animals, will always go for the weakest of the herd ie liberals...
Cougars have more sense that to eat donut filled coppers that are bloated with free 7-11 coffee.
Some woman in Rockwell Gardens, claims the cougars DNA will match her son (Cougar is baby's daddy). Also she is filing a wrongful death suit against the City. This woman will testify in the new Grand Jury for shootings. Indictment will soon follow.
It's unfortunate that the beautiful creature had to be put down, but the safety of the public have to come first. Anyone who can't understand that is an idiot.
Now I know this will sound like a really stupid question (so pardon my ignorance) - since the tranquilizer would take at least 15 min to quell the beast, would kind of effect would a taser have on an animal that size? Not saying that it should have been suggested or done, because I sure as hell wouldn't want to get close to those claws or jaws, but I'm merely curious if it would have dropped the cougar at all, or simply aggravated it more.
Dumb question, but I'm still curious nonetheless.
Thanks in advance.

This Dr. Alexander is the only one to back the police action on this. Again, where was the CITY of CHICAGO's Animal Care and Control?
At 0315 hours the resident reports seeing this cougar. Sounds suspicious to me.
What ever happened to the good old days? Remember when walking home at about that time and the only thing you'd see was a couple of "pink elephants" after the gin mill closed.

Where's my kitty??
And the cougar purred out:
"don't taze me bro"

LOL. Now the real question Maury or Jerry? Or even Oprah now that Barry Hussein is not going to win the DemocRATic nomination.

Sorry I was distracted by the picture for about ten minutes i'm done now. Well for the tazer to be effective one has to be in a close proximity to the target approx. 8ft. if you can get that close with out shitting you pants more power to you. When the spikes deploy they spread meaning one goes up and one goes down. meaning one would hit the upper chest and the other waist area. farther you are from the target bigger the spread. So in reality the taser is only good for a standing target the two legged animal. As for the effect on the cougar he would be really pissed and break the wires and eat you ! !

Cool.
Pick ME! Pick ME!
We have cougars, but they stay in the mountains. We have bears too, but they come right into our yards. We have rifles and shotguns aplenty, but you don't need them for bears. When one was in the front yard last fall, I just tossed a tennis shoe at him from the front door and he lumbered off.
But this is the Alleghenies. I wouldn't expect to run into a cougar in the Chicago burbs.
A few years ago the Marine Unit was sent on the silly mission of capturing a coyote thought to be trapped out on the breakwater that connects to Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, due east of Navy Pier. The Coyote got out there by himself and returned to the Filtration Plant the next day without any human intervention. However,the news media would not let the story alone and the Marine Unit was stuck out there,in subfreezing weather, for hours trying to capture the animal. One of the sergeants on the wall was a former HBT sniper. He had the tranquilizer rifle because the guy from Animal Control refused to go out onto the breakwater. The sergeant, an excellent shot, hit the coyote solidly with the tranquilizer dart and the coyote, much smaller than the famous Chicago cougar, took quite a long time to pass out. Long enough to run to the oposite end of the wall, nearly a mile distant, where it found a place to hide amongst the the quarter mile stretch of bolders. Somewhere out there the coyote slept it off. The Marine Unit was there, under orders from headquarters, until all five news helicopters left. They never found the hiding coyote.
My compliments to the the coppers who shot the cougar. It was the safest, and smartest course of action. Thank god the news heliicopters were not overhead, you would never have had the opportunity to take proper action. Later the CPD would have been severely critized for letting the cougar get away. Well, maybe not if prior to its later capture it ate an attorney or two.
