 .   Damn nature! You scary!

Cougars were here before women with pug dogs.
They have to eat too..

Wow, not a lot of compassion being shown here. 

That was someone's grandma lying there helpless, listening to her dog get killed.   
That would be terrible to go thru.
And does it really matter if it's a pug or a prized hunting dog?
Nobody on this site would laugh if it was a hound dog torn to shreds while the owner was helpless.

I didn’t realize mountain lions liked cupcakes

I agree, terrible.   


How many pugs would it take to get hounds back?  Hmmm

I think the lack of compassion is a realization many of us have. Quit hunting cats and stuff like this happens. Something makes us revel in the fact that consequences are being paid back to those that caused the problems. The hope is that these folks will pay a price and see the errors of their voting/opinions. Sadly this connection is rarely realized.

Imo it's not any different than play stupid games win stupid prizes, or F around and find out.

Plenty of folks are loosing empathy  because "they" don't care about us, or enough to think problems through.

I guess....


My mom's got a little *censored*zhu.  I can't stand that dog, but my mom loves it.   She will be devastated when she loses that tiny dog.   And she didn't vote to outlaw hound hunting. 

I just think your lack of sympathy is aimed at the wrong person. 

I suspect if your mom was laying helpless during something like this that you'd feel different.  At least I'd hope you would.

The fact they live in California is enough for me to assume they are a terrible person. Sorry, not sorry. There are grandmas out there that have committed murders. What does age have to do with it?

Yes frustration is often misplaced, AND Sportsmen like to think they have no ownership of the problem.  Sportsmen have been content to just complain, hopefully ACTION will help prevent the spread of such stupid laws.

true fact!

The point is simple.

You have absolutely no idea how (or if) this woman has voted.
You have no idea at all, but in your anger you're happy to see somebody - anybody - suffer.

And I think that's just ugly.   

It is completely classless to laugh at another's misfortune when you know nothing about them.

It is not a conservative value to laugh at another's misfortune.

[KFhunter]

Yup!

[MADMAX]

We have a little house dog
Boston terrier
If he goes out at night in the yard, he’s leashed and Im watching
I wouldn’t be able to get over listening to him scream as a cat or a coyote carried him off

[wolfbait]

Ignorance isn't always bliss

Maybe the dog walkers in California should start packing, that would surely slow down the cougar problems.


I met a guy from the wet side a few years back that I had plow snow for occasionally, he was telling me how this coyote would come down and play with his little dog. I told him the coyote would kill his dog, he assured me they were just playing and everything was cool. About a week later I ask the guy how his dog and the coyote were getting along, he said the coyote carried his screaming little dog into the woods and he hadn't seen it since.
