Nonsense. There isn't a land animal in Alabama that doesn't occasionally come near where people are. Especially at night. I have seen many huge mature bucks standing in the ditch of the road at night even along very busy roads. Bears are still pretty scarce in Alabama but people see them pretty often. Sometimes right in their backyards. There aren't very many Florida panthers but wildlife biologists routinely lay eyes on them. Does the Alabama variant have some kind of cloaking device like a Klingon warship on Star Trek. Despite their low numbers in South Florida panthers are routinely hit and killed by cars down there. Yet never a single one has been run over in Alabama. Weird huh?


There is always the chance that someone's exotic pet either got loose or was set free. But there is no natural breeding population of mt lions in Alabama.

The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.
