As stated in previous message not yet listed in message section, Maine Wildlife Officials are NOT telling the truth, saying NO evidence of big cats have ever been confirmed in Maine.
MOUNTAIN LIONS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED in 7 areas of Maine since the mid-1960s.
If you want the locations again, I will retype them. But I don't want to waste my time retyping them & you will NOT print them, for that is called withholding important data, resdients should be aware of.

It was normal to have bells worn when hiking, fishing, or anytime venturing out in Alaska.

Maine DIF should have applied for Stimulas Monies to investigate Mountain Lions. If Alaska can have a bridge to nowhere we can have non-existant cats in the wild of Mainereport abuse

"With all the black bears in Maine, how many attacks are there? So now people are afraid of the very rare Maine Mountain Lions that the State claims doesnt even exist?"

At least it gets their minds off the government for awhile.report abuse
