 That critter better head out, or it won't end well. Probably won't end well anyway.

From what I understand, there have been a few sightings around Shelbyville.

back in 66, something scared the daylights out of two big, tough coonhounds.
I'll always believe it was a lion.

GREAT...now that someone has publicly announced it, it won't be long before it's dead. 

I had a friend who was a field biologist and he had told me of similar sightings some years ago.  It was a cougar in a different Chicago area suburb, an area that I will not disclose here.  He urged me to not say anything to anyone as it was sure to be trapped and removed, relocated, or just plain killed.
