Officials in the western German state of Rhineland-Palatinate on Wednesday gave hunters permission to shoot an escaped panther that has been on the loose near the Belgian border for almost a year. Both the Koblenz regional environmental protection office and city licence agency (SGD) have approved hunters’ rights to kill the big cat, they said.
Tranquilising the animal is not a good enough option, officials said, because it could flee in the seven minutes it takes for the drugs to take hold.

ReplyDeleteSo why not a dart w/ a tranquilizer AND a tracking device? [Geez, we have to lecture the GERMANS on the virtues of technology? O_o]
But where would be the fun in that, JCF?
ReplyDeleteIt's on the Belgian border?
ReplyDeleteHere's my plan:
Get a bunch of those Belgian RC priests and bishops, and send them in wearing suits of raw meat. You won't catch the panther, but a greater threat to humanity will be dealt with.
Careful Mark, JCF is dead set against executions done with any system of dispatch.
ReplyDeleteExecutions?
ReplyDeleteNo!
You can only execute human beings!
Execute executives!
