Can someone tell me if these photo's are real or photoshopped?

no idea but i seriousli hope its photoshopped

If it;s not photoshopped it's an amazing picture

Poor kitty

If it's not photoshopped, I hope the cougar is okay...

Screw the cougar,that cameraman's my hero.

They look like paintings to me..Hmm..

i dont think they are real

What makes you people think they are hoaxes ? Why photoshopped??
Looks real to me, these are just dogs and a cougar.

*sighs then growls*

It's real. That's how... humans... *growls again* hunt cougars. They let thier dogs chase them down and tree them (or in this case, stuck at the edge of a cliff) so they can easily just shoot the cat.

That's not hunting... that's a cowards way... if you can't tell, I despise cougar hunting... It angers me to no end....

Silver Cougar,

I was afraid someone was going to verify that.
I hate hunting, though I can understand the people who hunt and then use all of the animal for food etc.
I can't understand hunting when it is used for a pure thrill for the pathetic human. Not only is this poor cougar going to die, but it also has suffered great stress before hand.

Oh how sad.

Cougar hunting isn't for food. it's trophy. It's vile, and done because cougars are considered a threat to humans and a pest...

Hunting for sport is a sick and twisted way to pass the time in my opinion. I don't understand how anyone could kill such a beautiful animal just for the heck of it.

I know cougars aren't hunted for food.
We're both in agreement together.

If that's not Photoshopped, I hope the cougar goes and kills the hunters! People who do things like that are just plain sick. Poor cougar.

lemme guess

some of you bashing hunting for sport, or whatever you want to call it, are sitting there eating a burger or something

arent any of you going to say poor cow ?


awwwww look how much fun they are having

Et's daddy,

It's safe to say the majority of us are hypocrits when it comes to the subject of killing animals. I mean, I happily eat burgers, chicken, bacon etc. all the time, but if you produced me with a pig and a knife and said "kill it if you want to eat", I couldn't. It's human nature to be hypocritical.
But I must say I do feel sorry for that cougar, especially for the circumstances in which it was about to die.

I'm a vegetarian.

Good for you!

Accually I'm not sitting here eating a burger.

And there's a difference between killing a cow for food, and killing a cougar for the thrill (yeah, shooting a trapped cougar is such a thrill...) for a trophy.

Having grown up in the backwater mountains, one learns the difference between hunting for necesseity and hunting for sport. Sport hunting is wasteful... you kill the thing, keep the fur for the trophy and throw out everything else. food hunting, you keep the pelt, usually for something.. craft clothing or blanket, yeah sometimes for trophy... however, the meat and organs are used for food. Basicaly every last bit that's useable is used.

And hunting preditor is wrong in my view.

We raised those cows for food purposes... and well accually, we've poisoned our own food supply. *shrugs* ow well, huh?

I agree, this picture is probably real. That is one of the most disgusting things a human being can do if you ask me. I just don't see how someone could get off on killing innocent animals, and torturing them, like this picture shows, first. I just can't stand it when people do things like this.

And just for the record, I am a vegetarian.

we should be thankful to the animals we eat for sacrificing their own lives in order for us to survive, we should not go kill other creatures for fun, that is cruel and karma will get you in your next life if your cruel to animals, I wish the natives wouldve won north america instead of the europeans, and I wish the europeans hadntve had the crusades and destroyed the egyptians culture, theyve set humanity back thousands of years... as for myself I am white, I despise what people like me have done in the past to destroy cultures and enslave races.

holy crap youre full of self hate

damn us white people

and i suppose those horse the indians rode around appreciated it huh ?

let's get real here it's an animal and any arguement you can spew out i can shoot down

Wow.. you're so full of hate yourself...

how do you figure ?

my position is that he wishes the indians drove the europeans from north america like the indians never hurt an animal

my rebutle was that they rode the horses, you think the horses enjoyed that instead of roaming free ?

im not full of hate

just dont like it when people generalize and stereotype

You yourself are an animal. I am also an animal. Why do people view humans as not animals? What are we labeled as? We are mammals, horses are mammals, cougars are animals.....theres no difference at all.

whats your point ?

that's just awful, forgive my ignorance, but would a cougar not be able to outruna dog, or just take them out, I thought they where pretty vicious?

i hope thats photoshopped. cougers are wicked animals.

They do.. but the dogs smell like humans... and when there's a pack.. the cougar flees. Usually right into a tree.

Cougars may be sturdy and tough.. but they know to fear humans, unless under times of extream duress, or young enough not to know.


*sighs* Cougars should be respected.. not shot by cowards...

But the Europeans were the ones who introduced horses to America and to the Natives...

Native Americans treated the horses better to.

speaking only for myself:
a) i am vegan
i respect people that hunt fairly and humanely for food
c) taking life for no reason (which sport hunting is) is disgusting

People that like to shoot things for "fun" should be dressed up like animals and shot at for "fun" by others.

As for the cows: yes, poor cows that have been turned into what they are today by humans. poor cows that are injected with hormones and anitibiotics to increase production. Poor cows that are stuck in feeding troughs to fatten them up. Poor dairy cows that spend most of their life with swollen udders, only to end up brutally killed to make hamburger when they can't produce enough liquid poison (milk).

The # one thing that irritates me is this idiotic concept that the entire world is man's resource haven. Sorry, but it is not. If you can not respect the ecosystem that sustains you, than you have no respect for yourself (or your just too much of an arrogant, egotisical, idiot to make the connection)

If one thinks the world is his dominion to do with as he pleases, well your children are in your dominion as well then so why don't you kill them for dinner?

Ok... i will stop ranting now.

Those are sooooo unbelievably FAKE!!!!!

That's not true.

That's a good point

haha Did the cat fall of the cliff?

...

How is that funny ?

it's funny because it got the intended reply

That big cat can kill a dog. A racoon can kill a dog. I think it is real pictures, and the rancher just had enough of the lambs being killed. Once there was two problems for ranchers, (wolves and cougars) rarely the mountain lion is shot because of killing livestock. Hawks eat chickens. Normal. You can see how the dogs are clear of those claws.

It doesn't look photoshopped to me. But the way the shot selection is so perfectly done leads me to wonder if these weren't stills from a movie, maybe..

would you rather have the cougar population overrun so the cougars could start stalking and killing humans?if the populations are'nt controlled,people will die!
i have never owned or shot a gun in my life,but see the logic in hunting potentally
deadly animals.on your side of the argument,this really looks cruel.i think the picture is fake,that cougar would be all over those dogs like stink on sh** if this really happened.all of those dogs together would'nt bea match for that pissed off cougar.

Yes, I would ;P

Anyways.. there's control.. and then there's this cowardly way of over hunting. There's a reason why the Eastern Cougar and Florida Cougar are extinct and highly endangered... because we just keep killing them... we keep running them up trees where it's vulnerable and shoot it like fish in a barrel.

It's dispicable and sickening. Deer have more of a chance then hunters give Cougars.

Its hard to say, usually big cats will go up against anything if they are cornered like so.. it can run much faster then the dogs.

The dogs all look to have traces of leads attached still to their neck which have not been shopped out properly... My opininon it is fake thank god... if it wasn't fake I hope that camera fell.

Of course its fake,why would the cat not climb up the tree`s that are behind the dogs

You can actually see also all the pixels that are only visible around the dogs and the cat.

Fake....fake...Fake....just like my ex

Its completely fake. I zoomed in the picture, and you can see that the dogs, and the cat were put in.
