Comments on: Riverside’s Melanistic Panther http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/thunnus-edit/ for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:31:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: cryptidsrus http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/thunnus-edit/comment-page-1/#comment-58012 cryptidsrus Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:22:04 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/?p=20088#comment-58012 I would like to second what Archer1945 said. The gentleman is worried about children and his family---plus the feline mauled his pot bellied pig. This is not a thoughtless "hunter" we are talking about here---this is a fellow who has had a Panther invade his property and attacked one of his animals. It would gladden my heart if this Panther was detected, videotaped and maybe even captured alive---however, if it is shot (and I sincerely hope it is not), I will not be overly sad, to be honest. Disappointed, but I'm not going to blame the fellow for doing what he thought was right. That does not make one "anti-animal" for feeling that way. Could be an escaped pet, though. I agree with that. Although I'm willing to bet the majority of these phantom "Panther" sightings are NOT escaped pets, as I've stated before. I would like to second what Archer1945 said.

If you would read it again you would realize he is worried about children and people that hike and bike on the trails that are adjacent to his neighborhood. If you haven't noticed California is having a problem with pets and people being attacked and killed by large felines I wonder if that doesn't have something to do with the fact at these cats are extremely intelligent and have learned almost anything on four or two legs is going to be any easy meal. If I were that person it would not have been a shotgun sitting handy but my 30'06. I would be willing to bet that the illustrious Mr Brennan would have some explaining to do when I walked into his office and dropped this big cat on his desk. Btw, this animal probably wouln't have made it out of the yard when it first appeared, at least if it had been in the state I live in. While I would not normally shoot to defend property, pets, especially expensive ones, are considered members of my family, and I will shoot to defend them; most assuredly if they are being attacked by a large feline. coelacanth1938, I don’t know what there is in this person’s letter that gives you the idea he would shoot at any children trespassing on his property.

But I'm a bit surprised that that the biologist the writer contacted wrote off the black panther sighting so easily in that there are a number of wildlife refuges and exotic animal owners in San Bernardino that lose an animal every once in while.
