I’ve seen pics from a guy here in Shelby County that has numerous pics of a mountain lion on his property. There is no doubt it’s a mountain lion in his pics as he has lots of them, with some being in broad daylight. He won’t go public with them because he is a business owner of a pretty well known business and doesn’t want the “there are no big cats in Alabama” to hurt his business or reputation. Now I’m not vouching for him that the pics were taken in Alabama but I dang sure know it’s a mountain lion in the pics he has.
Has clear and evident proof that big cat exists, but won't go public because "doesn’t want the “there are no big cats in Alabama” to hurt his business or reputation."
Pics and location of pics can be verified simply enough. I'm certain the state would love to document an actual sighting. But yeah, being proven a liar is typically bad for business.
