Check out this article on proposals to reintroduce jaguars Article Link Also note that the eastern edge is very close to the Rio Grande Valley.

Not no but hell NO!!! 1st and foremost Jags roamed very minute areas of NM and AZ

AZ WILL BE SCREWED OUT OF ANY PREDATOR MANAGEMENT THEY PREVIOULY HAD. History will repeat it's self just like it has on the Wolf and Grizzly. Where populations baselines and sustainable habitats limits ignored

Bad idea x100000000


Over past 10 years AZ has been a ML hunting battle ground. Hounds kill one collared jag and no more hound hunting and lion population exposes even higher, having massive impacts on ungulate re-introductions

Yep

Immigration control.

From my research these cats really only ventured into the United States, they didn't really inhabit the areas in any appreciable numbers....more like make visits is what they did

I'm with BOBO... not to mention the wolf reintroduction up north has been a debacle from the get-go.

Nope, the only debacle in somes eyes is the smaller penetration of the wolves southward. Other than that, pretty much done what they had hoped it would do.

To be sure, wolves have helped to restore some parts of the ecosystem, and that's great. But it ain't all there yet, with some voices saying it never will be.

But I was mostly speaking of the administrative debacle, the years' of litigation and fighting between the US and the states affected, and other interest groups.

Live and let live. Just keep them out of my yard.

Realize I did not say I was in favor of this, only that it was doing what Bangs & crew set out to do.

That's what the elites say on the west coast about open boarders.

But, there’s already black cats in east Texas ,,,

Maybe the jaguars will eat the wolves and any liberals they come across. We should introduce them into Austin.

Actually you are completely wrong. The scientific recovered number for them to come off ESA was as much 20x less then what it was when states actually got management back. Litigation went 10 years past when it was supposed to. Same thing is happening with Grizzlies.

Many states took big ungulate number drops all while having to set back and watch wolves explode under ESa protections because of antihunting litigation.

Every agreement was broken, even when USFW AGREED THEY WHERE FULLY recovered, anti-hunters kept states from gaining control through litigation.

There is a reason Idaho just passed legislation to begin winter helicopter gunning and wide open “means of take” of wolves to try to knock them back to 150 from 1800

Wolves haven't restores anything on the land scape. They have accomplished nothing that human management couldn't. The North American Conservation model is about sustainability, unchecked wolves undermine that. 1000’s of tags have been lost From unchecked Canadian wolf introduction. The only state in lower 48 with a growing moose population has virtually no wolves(for now)

That's correct, the introduction is novel idea but will end up like mountain goats, taking over ranges they where never in, there for displacing and dramatically affecting native wildlife.

Trying to figure out what I missed or maybe, what you thought their intention was?

The only debacle wasn’t just a southern displacement. Southern displacement is a result of hitting max carrying capacity in Greater Yellowstone eco system. Dispersal was in all directions. Debacle was legislation that protected well past pre-established recovery numbers.l, Which was a precursor to Grizzly recovery litigation, and also what will happen with jags.

That's tempting!

Like I said, " . . . pretty much done what they had hoped it would do."

Correct my bad, I have reading comprehension issues this morning

Always liked the E type
