LOL, Anything is possible, Bob. In India, the people use tigers as guard dogs. On top of that, I have read many reports of sightings of non-indiginous animals such as big black cats in conjunction with unusual activity but we never suspected that they might be involved with the government until now. Most people are less likely to snoop around the woods with big cats on the prowl and no one would even really think too much about someone getting mauled by a big cat. They'd probably just blame it on some poor old toothless mountain lion.

I was in the book store a few days ago and happened to find a book about cougar attacks. Since I didn't want to fork over the big bucks for the cost of the book I sat and read portions of it there.
I was really shocked by some of the accounts I read.
It appears that big cat attacks are indeed on the rise... certain parks in this country definately have a problem with cats especially attacking young children. And the dismal thing about this is that a lot of these parks didn't have any warning signs posted to alert the public.
One of my favorite outdoors activity is to hike along some of the back trails in the woods... but after reading this I think I'll be bringing a gun for protection from now on.

I suggest that if you do shoot a large cat, do so with at least a large caliber hangun such as a .44 mag or a .357 mag, but preferably a high powered, large caliber rifle.Cats are notoriously hard to kill, and vengeful in the extreme when attacked
