COUGAR CAME FROM SOUTH DAKOTA
Good report from WLS ABC7 about that big cat...
More is now known about the background of the cougar that was shot and killed by police in Chicago's Roscoe Village community earlier this month. Tests confirm the animal was originally from South Dakota. FULL REPORT at ABC7, which is vastly superior to The Bench (lots more TV cameras, bigger budget, better makeup, hot female reporters, and so on)
Also, read Transient Cougars as Colonizers. (Can I say that I reported this before ABC7 did? I did, really.)
COP: "I JUST KILLED A F***ING COUGAR!"
What REALLY happened with that cougar shooting?
The Chicago Journal story today contradicts Police Supt. Jody P. Weis's claim that a single police officer shot and killed the big cat.
Not so, says the Chicago Journal story, which quotes a resident as saying that "20 uniformed police officers were lined up" to contain the cougar into a small parking area just off of the alley. "About six or seven officers opened fire on the cougar."
Too much and not enough. That's what some residents of Roscoe Village are saying about Monday night's shooting by Chicago police officers of a cougar in a neighborhood alley.
Two elements in the strange animal tale on the city's North side concern neighbors in Roscoe Village. Some say that Animal Care and Control did not respond quickly enough, while others feel that police may have overreacted by "shooting up the neighborhood." FULL STORY at CHICAGO JOURNAL - BOOSTER...
