Q: How many children has mountain lions killed?

A: There are no lions in this part of the country, sir.

Nor are there mountains.

So the idea a mountain lion even being in the area is pretty ridiculous. A murderous mountain lion even more so.

And, for that matter, this child wasn't mauled. He was clearly struck with a golf club.

 A murderous, mountain lion who happens to be an avid golfer? I'm sorry sir. That just don't pass the sniff test.

You're going to want to come up with another alibi.
