Sun - am I correct in assuming that your implication is that I am lying to or misleading forum members or covering up something?

If so, you are more than welcome to submit a FOI request.
After the research is completed I am sure you will be more than willing to apologize here online considering that you had decided to publicly question my integrity.

Have we had mountain lion sightings? Yes. Were any of them proven to be mountain lions? No. Have they been coyotes, dogs, bobcats, caracals and large house cats? Yes.

I volunteer my time here on the forum. I am not here to mislead the public, cover up or lie to forum members and I resent the implication or insinuation from you that I do. Someone asked me a question, which by the way started out "rumor of course" and I answered it to the best of my knowledge. If you don't like my answer then I'm sorry, but I have the data to back up what I am saying, do you? If there was confirmation of mountain lions in Connecticut I would tell you. I don't care if they are here or not - we have bears, we have moose, we have bobcats, we have coyotes and someday we may have mountain lions and maybe even wolves here.

Are there people in government who may try and mislead the public? Yes - but I'll tell you something pal - there is nothing on this website or anywhere else that is worth me jeopardizing my character or credibility. Maybe you would, but not me.

To everyone else I apologize for the rant, but there are certain things that I will not tolerate and this is one of them.
