To be clear...

Lvn2Hunt are you looking for compensation from them? Or are you simply looking for them to say "OK thanks. We'll fill out a report noting the attack occurred."

If they did simply say, tell us the name, time and location.... would that be sufficient?

I think everyone agrees in all of North Dakota that there are 20-40 cats running around at any given moment.

Are you looking for more? I guess I'm confused too...

Thanks!

I am guessing it is more like 200-400 cats!

I think they announced some likely continuous population estimate at one time. I can't remember what it was?

I don't think it was near as high as 200. We'd be having dozens more reports every week from livestock raids...

Anyone?

If you call out to report a cat to G&F, they make it seem like it's more like 2-4 and they are all out west. Not in Bismarck or the surrounding areas.

So you simply want them to acknowledge that there are cats in the Bismarck area.

I think they have acknowledged it.

But what next? I personally don't believe they have any investigative curiousity to run out to every call. An attack is an attack.

In the beginning I think they wanted to see if they were from cats, because North Dakota had 0 cats to everyone's knowledge.

It is a much different world now. Everyone acknowledges their existence. No more proof is needed. point taken.

So now what is next?

I think the issue is being beaten to death and drug thru the ringer.... noone is surprised anymore by another cat attack.

Correct? Is anyone surprised anymore? Why the need to investigate? North Dakota has a healthy reproducing number of cats. Some of them are even collared to follow whilst alive. Documenting attacks doesn't serve any further purpose except to note the time and location.

or so it seems to me? :huh:

Sorry Hunt4P&Y, must have missed where you must have said that.

:lol: No, I'm not going for you to say that they are being meany heads, but, I'm being chastised for being upset at people being treated unfairly. And, I'm being pointed at and laughed at for actually calling in a potential attack like that is something stupid to do.

I hope it wasn't me that was doing any chastizing?

It sounded like yes you called in the report, someone took down the info, and that was it. Correct?

Do you think they didn't believe you because they didn't come out to visually inspect another horse?

Sorry if you thought it was my being a big meany head. I just don't know what more G&F should do at this point for those people who do call in. They document it and that should be it right?

I don't think anyone here that I could read into, was laughing at you at all. The lion attacks are very serious, and it would help folks to know where an attack occurred... with the caveat being to me.. that the attack happened upon a human.

So question for you Lvn2... thanks for taking a moment to let me know your feelings on this...

If ND G&F took down the reports courteously, noted the time and location, and said thank you very much... would that be all you are looking for?
