    • this is all there is to it:
      "Game and Fish officials say Smith [the Biologist] acknowledged that he misled federal investigators regarding facts surrounding the jaguar's original capture."

    • What about people that would kill one just because it's "FUN"? Lots of big time hunters that I know think it's "FUN" to kill any animal. I used to hunt and thought it was "FUN", but changed my mind after several years. It isn't fun anymore.

    • If there was only one left, then it was a bad situation already. This was going to happen eventually and it's everybody's fault; not just one guy.

    • So one guy gets to be the scapegoat while all the suburban polyester people who live on the jaguar's former habitat get a free pass?

    • And what about all the other captures? These people are paid to do this - so they do.
      Nobody needs these 'biologists' at all. Bear don't need to be trapped and monitored - Pumas don't need to be killed - there's no reason other than some people were told to do it - that they were extra cool and real men if they shot animals. But no, they're just extra stupid. That is 100% all there is to them.
      Wildlife takes care of itself - adjusts to food supplies.

      We're the ones that need to monitored - we'll destroy our environment and ourselves along with it.

      Biologists aren't doing it for the hell of it. I'm not sure about the specifics but I know that there are people out there that would be appalled by your comment. If people weren't threatening these animals existence then biologists wouldn't be capturing and monitoring them.

      Apparently though, some biologists suck at their jobs.
