Going to Safeway? Watch out for Cougars!!

GolfNut · 05-12-2011, 10:52 AM

No not 40 year old MILF's, but real live Mountain Lions! This was at our local Safeway store yesterday afternoon.

A customer saw a long tail sticking out of the bushes as they walked into the store and asked an employee if they had animals living out there. One employee got within 5 ft before realizing it was there crouched down. Probably needed a wardrobe change after that!

Fish and game came out and tranqued it with no problems.

Maybe it was there to help control the Chihuahua population.

Wow, that probably freaked out a few people!

Holy crap!

I'm glad to hear that the situation was taken care of gracefully. It was be a shame to see such a gorgeous creature harmed for being "in the wrong place" at the wrong time. Kudos to all involved!

I prefer the 45 yr old type with big fake, ummmmm, ta-ta's. Just sayin.

Agreed 100%. I would have had to feed it though poor kitty. I'm sure we could find a small annoying barking dog the world wouldn't miss.

If not there's always steaks.

LOL, Big kitty was not harmed at all. It was darted and will be taken to a Zoo or research facility. Just can't release back into the wild after being so close to humans.
