This message is for the EnConn officer,

If it is ever proven that there are mountain lion in CT, would they be under protection in this State?
Is it also possible that (I'm sure like many other species)there possible are animals like the mountain lion that reside here , but are being pushed out of natural habitats due to excessive development and deforestation?
If so, will there ever be a time in the near future were there are limits on how much forest land is torn down and destroyed for obnoxious housing developements?
