When a former NFL player took action to protect his community from a nearly 200-pound mountain lion, harassment poured in. So on Monday, he joined Fox News host Tucker Carlson to set the record straight.
“It’s not like Brooklyn at all,” Carlson concluded. (Video) Last week, Derek Wolfe was contacted after someone in his neighborhood had lost two of her dogs to a mountain lion that had reportedly been living under her porch. After tracking the cat to a nearly 10,000-foot elevation, the former footballer who retired last year shot and killed it with a bow and arrow.
Following the kill, Wolfe posted an image of himself with the cat

Some may have used a non-racist, woke and equitable elephant gun.

A mountain lion is not a pussy cat. They will take pets and attack and possibly kill humans. To them a small child is just prey. I don't believe this is an animal that could be caught and moved back into the wilderness. He knew where prey was and he would not leave his hunting grounds. It might have been helpful if he had not shown the picture of the dead animal.

The mountain lion had been a threat to humans and pets for a while and it was a request of the powers that be for him to come in and do some dangerous predator control. Which he gladly did. This was an act of conservation and protection for others this animal had been threatening.

I would want him in my area. In southern Iowa there are mountain lions. The DNR says there aren't but I know people that have seen them. It is one of those oops, the DNR brought them in to re-populate the area even though they aren't indigineous to southern Iowa and the idjits at the DNR won't admit it.

The kitty should have been shot with a tranquillizer dart, starved for a few days, and release on the grounds of Quid Pro Joe's Delaware mansion.

Objective, outside opinion, SWAG: extra large cat was older and looking for easy pickings. Coupla loose dogs (yes, that's part of living there and on the owners) and the cat loses its natural fear of human habitat, and even takes up under someone's porch. I am no hunter, but I have utmost respect for those who do - by the book of rules and ethics. I live among, and have a special heart for predator animals, as well and know they were hunted mercilessly in the past and, unethically, still are. But this, Mr Wolfe, was done right. Your detractors are like childless folk who look at your misbehaving kid and say "If that was my kid...."

As we move further and further into once/still wild country and away from traditional suburbia, there are going to be these encounters. I don't have any heartburn with a clean kill of the mountain lion but I really wish people would not anthropomorphize a WILD animal engaging in natural behaviors. It's nothing personal.

We’ve had bobcat sightings here in our county, about 30 miles west of Lafayette IN. We have big dogs but even so we never leave one out by themselves. A couple weeks ago 2 were out and going crazy over something in the field. Could’ve been a deer, coyote, bunny, a roaming dog, who knows? But it was silent and I made them come in. We have a 6’ fence but that’s not high enough for bobcats.

Actually, #10, the predators aren't being hunted like they used to be and are increasingly moving closer to people. This is true of coyotes, mountain lions and to a lesser extent, wolves.
State game officials in many states spend years denying that there are any mountain lions in their states, until the number of dead lions dropped in their laps gets too big to deny.
Florida denied it for decades. Kansas was denying it up until a few years ago, I don't know their current position. I and my wife saw a number years ago, and multiple farmer friends have seen them, too.
Sometimes predators just have to be killed.

Yet no outcry for the black on black genocide that takes place in cities around our nation minute to minute.

This guy is a real man. He probably shouldn’t have posted anything on social media because people are too stupid and fragile these days.

A predator attacking weaker victims.
Sounds a lot like Brooklyn.
