Mountain Lion Wipes Out Petting Zoo
By Rocky Thompson on July 6th, 2009
The owners of an all-natural, community-supported farm faced a tough choice after an all-natural predator killed most of the animals in their petting zoo. It started with four sheep, and then later 16 goats went missing while a mountain lion lounged on their farm. The only animals that escaped were geese, which are surprisingly nasty if you get on their bad side. Faced with crowds of children for their upcoming Garlic and Onion festival, the all-natural farm (minus the petting zoo) called in a hunter to shoot the mountain lion. I bet Ted Nugent would have done it for free if he’d also been allowed to lecture the proprietors of the petting zoo.
Poor Ted. No Nazi gun-phile has ever been more misunderstood.
I’d have done it if they’d have let me eat the cougar…man it was well fed.
