Three malnourished cougar kittens killed
The kittens were found outside of a Fish and Game of Idaho employee's home, with no mother in sight. The mother's location is unknown, and the kittens found their own shelter for the time being. Ordered by Idaho's Fish and Game, the kittens were shot, claiming that they were starving to death. "I believe it is conceivable the female hadn't had the time to kill a deer because she's been on the run [from hunting dogs] quite often," Carl Anderson of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game said.

Wow.

If they were hoping to control the cougar population by shooting either the mom or the kittens, sounds like it's working.

If they arent, then it sure doesnt seem like it to me.

I'm losing more faith in the Fish and wildlife departments each day....who appointed these guys, anyway? Couldn't they just choose someone who knows a little less about animals for that job?

Cougars are an endangered animal anyway. I don't know what the reasoning of Fish and Game anymore is, since they've become corrupted as much as the goverment has. Serious changes need to happen within these organization.

yeah, really serious, like fire the old hire the new, and repeat process till things work, like drawing from a lottery, keep trying, youll eventually get a winner

Fire the old, hire the new? Unfortunately that's what most schools are doing just to save some money despite the crappy new teachers. But that idea would work well higher up in the administration by firing whoever is in charge of the school and hire new administrators that will not worry about profits of the school, and worry about the new generations entering society.

It would work well with politics too, which is what you were probably referring to. People say Obama has little experience and use it against him, but I like to think of it as he's the least corrupted. Same with any new presidential canidate. Less experience in corrupted politics, less corruption in the person.
