Nothing to smile about, cat was killed by people intruding into its territory. Seems animals always have to pay with their lives. This should be a solemn picture honoring the spirit of this great cat instead of a trophy opportunity in a dirty room. Why did the picture even have to be taken let alone circulated?

Why is he smiling? This wonderful cat was killed by humans intruding into its territory. The animals always have to pay with their lives. Why is he smiling and not honoring the spirit of this great cat instead of insulting her with a trophy photo op? Why was this picture taken and certainly why was it circulated?

Becuz they think they are the GREAT HUNTERS.... it always perturbs me how any hunter going into the territory of anothers animals homes & they shoot it .. like when they wait for a deer to come back to where it beds down for the night & then shoots it.. THEY CALL that hunting ??? I call it murder... I hate hunters to the most highest... its nothing to show when you kill it.. they don't play fair... I would rather see the Wilds of Nature (the critters of every kind) alive & eating & sleeping then see someone smiling at a dead carcass they just killed... MAYBE that Cougar was someones freind... I know the deer & groundhogs & what ever else is that I feed are my freinds... & when someone shoots them & smirks saying they killed one & thanks for fatting it up for them all summer long it about kills me inside... WHY do hunters think they are sporting when they aren't ??? I hate hunting season of all kinds now... & now we have a turkey coming around.. & its Turkey Season here .... no matter what is here Hunters THINK they have dibs on it ... even when I plead with them.. its like hey there there for us to shoot... its sick.. sorry... this just gets me...
