So why would you assume that someone talking about a "black panther" is talking about a "florida panther?"
assume you know NOTHING about cats, you happened to see a big cat on the side of the road, it was dark in color so you say its black. okay then with that, would you believe you saw a cat native to america (cougar,puma.whatever) or that you saw a jaguar from south america? one would be more likely to assume it to be a cat native to the area, where there have been many sighting. i put myself in the position of the uneducated. i love how people will argue with facts and statistics all day long saying that the knowledgeable are stupid for not believing what someone else saw rather than the proven facts. if i was to see a big black cat i would shoot it. no questions asked. and if i was to pay 10k for breaking such a law then okay, as long as its in the name of science and to prove to the world of a cat that has been assumed nonexistent is indeed around. if i see one that must mean that there are many more around, or it magically appeared.
this thread will end with this: if you have seen a big black cat, okay dont argue with someone who will never believe you and drop it. as for those who do not believe in such big black cats in america, do not argue with those who have seen one. let this just be a dead subject. SOMEBODY START ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT OBAMA SO EVERYONE CAN ALL BE ANGRY BUT AT NO ONE ON THIS THREAD! /thread for good.
