re: Finally a document black panther in louisiana

That's a dumbass article. I watched the video of the one they killed in Bossier and they didn't have any choice. It was coming down the tree. I'd have shot it too. It was in the MIDDLE OF BOSSIER CITY! Not out on the edge. There was a bear ended up in that same neighborhood that they were able to dart. The cat didn't give them the opportunity. He wasn't staying there. He was coming down. Now.

As for the idiots that think there's a black cougar in La much less anywhere on the whole damn planet in the history of the species, you're wrong.

Period.

They don't have the genes to make that possible.

If there's a black cat in south Louisiana it's a house cat, a bobcat, or an escaped leopard or jaguar.
