Panther kills farm animal, threatens ten year old boy

A Florida Panther is causing trouble for one Golden Gate neighborhood. A Collier County man claims that a panther jumped over his fence, killed a farm animal, and almost attacked a ten year old boy…

…When all of a sudden, Edgar said that a panther jumped over a fence and stood just 50 yards away while crouching down as if it were ready to attack one of the boys that was with the group.

“What I would like to put forth is the fact that it stalked a kid, ” Edgar said.

“I thought he was ready to jump so we both shoot, ‘pow-pow,’ not at the panther, just in the air.”

After firing several rounds, the panther then ran away, and so did the little boy and his family.

The kid was teasing the panther. They did shoot the panther and hide the taxidermy. What liars because you are human you think you can get away with speaking filth? You are truly ugly and that is why you tease and harm beautiful creatures. You are also ignorant and disgusting. What you do to the innocent is the manner in which you die so go on ahead and make excuses for your filthy habits. I am tired of people who are stupid and do not respect nature. I will not classify you as human although you may have a similar appearance you lack the intelligence and respect to be a human. You lack a heart to be a living being. So what are you? Isn't it illegal to shoot and kill endangered species? How disgusting and for nothing. People like you should not own guns and soon that may be a necessary involvment by our government to keep people modest and alive. Either way it will satisy me in full to see you in prison without a lawyer to defend you.

Yeah, it really is a shame that the panther was killed. There are so few of them left.

On the bright side, these people are trying to save the Florida panther. Maybe you can help them out:
