    Well this is not something we see too often in Florida. Puts a new twist on our friends the animals...Weird thing about this article is this story came on after the story of the 90 year old woman who lost her foot to a big gator... :p Anyone planning on vacationing in Naples anytime soon?

    "In November, the Gutierrez family reported their 6-month-old foal, Bambi, stolen on Thanksgiving. When interviewed on Christmas, Vanessa Gutierrez said her family feared another attack on New Year’s Eve. They worried someone was harming their horses on holidays.

    Gutierrez said Tuesday she doesn’t believe the horse was killed by a panther.

    “If it was a panther, the panther would have done something to my other horse and my dogs, and they’re perfectly fine,” she said. “I’m pretty sure its somebody else.”


    Sounds like the Gutierrez family are real intellectuals. It couldn't possibly be panthers. Never mind all the panther tracks and missing animals. After all, these attacks only happened on holidays and everybody knows that panthers can't read a calendar...

    Here's a picture of a cute/cuddly Florida Panther. Don't worry about him; we don't have another holiday for almost a week. Is this the face of a cat that would attack and eat a newborn horse named Bambi?

    I have friend in Stuart, Fla. ( 30 mins. north of West Palm Beach ) who swears he saw a panther in his neighborhood two years ago. We all laughed it off at the time.
