If you check out what most Puma Advocacy Groups have to say about the management of Pumas in Utah, you will find that the state has had one of the most hostile killing policies in the lower 48.............330 Pumas were killed by hunters(most treed by hunting dogs and then shot at point blank range ).............Additionally galling is that the Utah Game Commission has no real idea of how many Cats exist in the state.........Like British Columbia's misguided Wolf killing paradigm to save Caribou, Utah wants to kill Pumas to save Bighorn sheep and Mule Deer..................Of course, our human manipulation of the environment that has made it easier for Pumas to kill these ungulates is never mentioned when formulating this genocidal plan..............We human animals cite the old and new testaments(by the way, written by men, not a diety) as text allowing us to "ride dominion over all of natures creations".................Wow, talk about us being led by Blind faith and not being good critical thinkers and going about our merry way fouling our nests...................Utah is not the only wrong doer.................All of us would be found guilty of transgressions against wildlife if in fact there was in fact a higher power giving out "traffic tickets"
