I have probably said this before, but when Donald Rumseld said "The absence
of evidence is not evidence of absence," he as logically spot on. "No
evidence" proves exactly nothing, and I wish more people would see that!
(Hence the absence of proof of the existence of the Eastern Cougar in NS
does not disprove their existence!)
Ain't logic fun?

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Purported SW NS Eastern Cougar Photo
I know there is a lot of disbelief about cougars in NS, but My wife and I
saw one while driving up to Cape Breton in the late 1960's. I was quite
familiar with these critters from several sightings on Vancouver Island
while conducting salmon research.

I no nothing of the provenance of this yet so no warranty to it's validity
etc. Purportedly near Weymouth NS, certainly the background and time of day
could be SW Nova.
Still messing with Google+ but this is is shared publicly so hopefully no
acct/login necessary. Let me know how it works. If I can track down
anything further I'll post.
