[at-l] SNP Tips & Advice Needed

[jbryankramer at msn.com (J Bryan Kramer)]

We had something like this east of Gainesville, FL where there actually are
some panthers in the state. There were sightings east of Gainesville, where
there aren't any panthers. The State people just snickered but eventually
went out and looked. They then captured the non-existent panther which after
DNA tests turned out to be an escaped western cougar. Its possible that your
critter could be the same sort of situation. Apparently it is possible to
come by cougars, legal or illegal I don't know. If the US Wildlife folks
were involved we could assume it one of those Canadian Lynx.

 Samuel Adams advised, "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity,
and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the
sake of the latter."
