This is about 10 miles from me. Everyone here is assuming a mountain lion in the area, but I’m leaning towards chupacabra.

What round for mythical goat suckers?

Does KY fish and game acknowledge the existence of mountain lion/cougars/pumas/whatever you want to call them?

Because VA Dept of Game and Fisheries does not, despite evidence of their existence.

Three horses, a pit bull and Husky were all found dead at the scene. Police believe the animals were killed early Sunday morning by what could be a "large cat" or other animal.

Cats are pretty fragile and you don’t need a lot of penetration to hit their vitals. A 9mm is perfectly adequate to take one down.

IDNR denied them for a long time despite a few getting hit by cars and numerous game cam sightings. Now they do admit their existence here but claim they’re just passing through. About ten years ago I heard a female in heat crying out for a mate while outside one evening. That to me says we probably have a breeding population.

Sounded just like this.

Southern Illinois is a perfect habitat for them. Lots of big woods and white tail are like cockroaches here.

Nope. KY says they're not really there.

PA did/does the same. In a PA hunters safety class in about 1994 somebody asked about lions. The Game cop said they didn't exist in PA. The volunteer instructor said that the PGC had to say that because, since Eastern Lions at the time were considered endangered (they were declared extinct not long ago) the PGC would have to spend a shitload of money on habitat work and protection and all that and they didn't want to. The PGC cop said nothing in response to this.

PGC always said that any cougars found were "escaped pets", because that's a thing apparently. People started pointing to DNA analysis saying the cats were all from the West. Except (1) cats are going to spread East as their population grows and (2) one of the reasons the Eastern Lion got delisted was because they determined via DNA that all North American lions are the same species.

So they're here. Or they will be.

I'm looking forward to it, personally. Too many deer, too many liberals hiking.

Ohio maintains that there are no mountain lions.

Yet, about 5 miles from me, State highway patrol chased one down the highway.

They later clarified their statement that it was a bobcat...

If a state's wildlife department officially acknowledges the existence of big cats, they have to come up with a management program for said kitties, which costs big bucks. Much cheaper to just call it a big bobcat sighting.

In most states it is illegal to kill a none game species unless you can say it was posing a direct threat. A guy in NYS claimed to have shot a Mt. Lion and buried it with his backhoe. The DEC investigated and quickly realized he was full of shit when they told him they would bring in their own equipment to dig it up. The DEC told him had you shot it you would have been arrested as it is not a game species in the state of NY.

Joe Rogan has had a few conversations with his guests about mountain lions.  Big hunters such as Cam Hanes, Donny Vincent, Ted Nugent, etc.

Big cats are nature's population control.  They kill often enough, for fun.  Just because they want to murder something.

If a predatory ( healthy ) cat such as a Cougar/Mt. Lion, why would it go all out on 3 horses and 2 dogs in one night, makes no sense to me considering their instincts to prey, kill and eat one animal at a time.

My guess its a rabid cat or bear.

A lot of cat hunters in Utah use .357 or .44 mag pistols.

They're big and tough, but they're not anywhere close to African lions or tigers.

I asked my fishcops about that. Was told that the reason the state refuses to acknowledge big cat residence in state is because then the state would be responsible for management of the species, which would be expensive.
It’s much easier to say that a big cat will cross the state in 2 or 3 days, but doesn’t actually live here. Nothing to see here, people. Move along.

You could have your lion population filled to capacity and people will still hike--  they don't rapaciously kill and eat people too often, like practically never.
