I understand what you are saying.

As I asked the PR Director............"If every Mt.Lion is feral, how long do they live? Wouldn't all of our deer be the product of feral deer, since they were all brought from Wisconsin in the 30's? Why does it matter how a Mt. Lion began his life, if there are a bunch out there, how does it help to say they are all escaped pets? If they are not breeding, are you saying folks release dozens every year?"

He never answered. He just looked at me and smirked.

I truly don't want to get into an argument with you over it. I know what is what, and it's first hand. I have no benefit in either convincing someone, or being wrong, either way.
