Headless Florida Panther Found Along Road in Central Florida. By Geniusofdespair


A headless, decaying panther was found Friday, alongside the Florida Turnpike. What more can you say? This is human cruelty I cannot comprehend. I found this on another blog, Lauren's close encounter with a Florida panther, let it serve as the panther's eulogy:

"Oh my gosh!

We have a real, BIG, Florida Panther living behind our house. This cat weighed 150 pounds, EASY. It. was. HUGE.

So I called Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation this morning. Really, by law, we can have it relocated, but unless it poses a threat, which at this point, I’m not REALLY worried about it (FWC says they don’t really attack unless provoked, and dogs bark so they really don’t like to have to put up a fight with their prey) unless it attacks my dogs or another person. I mean, this cat was there probably LONG before any of the houses in our subdivision were built. Our little corner of the world also happens to be his.

I could not believe what I saw last night. Isn’t God wonderful? He created something so beautiful and I was so blessed to see it. Something like that doesn’t happen everyday!"

I would have thought this post would have had a lot more people in outrage.
It's a sad day
