Attention Mainers…time to reconsider the caliber you carry…

From the Boston Globe:

Is this the Maine mystery beast?

"Loren Coleman"

I took a course at USM with that guy. He has been on Art Bell a couple of times.

Ya wanna know what the course was? It was on how the media distorts things. Go figure.

Maybe one of his pets got loose.

Is that an actual photo of the animal? There wasn't one with the article.

 

[massnee]

The photo is from the front page of the web site.

 

[BigWarden]

They couldn'tve gotten a better photo of it? Where's the rationale in that?

 

[SiameseRat]

without the whole head being in the frame and with the grass covering the nose it just looks like a dead cat to me.

Here's the same article, but one more picture. This is not a _pretty_ animal!

Wasn't that from the The Legend of Wooley Swamp.

Yeah this one makes it look more like a mutant chihuahua. Probably the remnants of some puppy mill somewhere. Got loose, turned feral. Amazing what inbreeding can do. <perplexed>

I just can't believe that nobody wanted to do a necropsy. I would have done it. Why didn't they contact me?

(ETA- some Veterinary trivia. It'd be relatively simple to tell if it's more cat or more dog simply by x-raying its legs. A feline's femur is very straight, whereas a canine's femur is thicker and more bowed. With some species of cats and dogs being similar sizes, it's an easy way to tell what species you're looking at.)

So what you're saying is that dead animal is the spawn of a house cat and Big Foot?

SenorFrog, I see you found the picture Dwarven1 took of me at the last NES shoot!

Idiots insist you allow their java script to read it. Nope. I read somewhere yesterday, however, that it's a dog.
