There have been so many confirmed sightings around the State and rumors about the DNR releasing 6, 10, 15, breading pairs. I'd like to know the real story behind the cats having a presents through out the state in such a short time. One of the stories I have heard told of a farmer in southern Iowa that shot one and in very short order the DNR showed up and asked for the cat. He said he did not know what they where talking about. At that point they told him the cat was being track by an imbedded tracking chip and that they knew it was in his barn. It also seems many of these cats appear to be attracted to towns and farm steads. Seems like they could have had some exposure to humans and then released. I would just like to know the whole story. If the DNR is involved I would think there would be allot to answer to. Pray to God, transplants or not, that they don't kill anybody. I hope the DNR has not created any liability for themselves.
