I just heard a howl from behind my house, and it wasn't form a dog *shuts door and flails arms*
It doesn't help that the stupid village people released:
non-native mollusks, otters, wolves, bears (grizzly and black bear), cougars, and panthers. Thanks a lot, village workers. Like that will help with rapid population growth in native species. It doesn't help that ALL of these animals have been sighted RIGHT in town where they can harm people. Coyotes are native here, but that was no coyote howl. If a coyote attacks someone, okay, that's nature. You invade his habitat, he will attack. Reasonable. But my mom's friend hit a mountain lion with her truck, and village workers did not let her take pictures or take the body home, they didn't want anybody finding out their secret. But, several people, even my mom, has seen all the animals they have released. Heck, we saw them drive by with a horse trailer full of animals much larger than any dog I've ever seen. Why, why do people introdues non-native species?
