[shoppes on the bay]

a good friend of mine was talking over coffee this morning of a project he is working on with USFW - during our conversation he mentioned busting on the usfw official about denials of mt lions in the n.e. - he was plenty suprised with the response that he got, a response that makes more sense than any that ive heard - he was told that if eastern mt lions were acknowledged as having a presence here then there would be a host of government regulatons that could come into play. further in the conversation it was tipped that west of springfield ma they were finding wolves which also were "not there" -
maybe this is all a case of be careful what you wish for.
