Chile Forum

I am glad to know there are still Puma’s in Chile seems Chileans are experiencing some of the same issues we are experiencing here in the US with wildlife. The US has had several deaths due to Pumas in the recent past. As the human population encroaches on remaining areas populated by Pumas these confrontations are bound to happen. I agree about controlling dogs, but a human habituated Puma would be far more worrisome to me as a town citizen, maybe you know otherwise, since I have not experienced a dog problem. I appreciate wildlife and wish that human population growth would be more abstained, but that is most likely a futile hope. The pressures caused by population growth nearby major metro areas seem to generate an overcrowded condition for the predators on the fringes of their former environment.

Where do street dogs go?

I always wonder about street vendor sold empanadas (especially the ones that setup late at night w/o a license) or suspiciously "cheaper" than usual empanadas.

Just joking, OSIT.
