911 What Is Your Emergency? I See A 150# Black Panther
May 18, 2009
That’s how the story goes that’s coming out of Michigan. A caller to 911 wanted help because he saw what he thought to be about a 150-pound black panther or at least a big black cat in a drain pipe in Warren, Michigan.
Before I go on, here’s the deal. You see the usual drivel we hear from those “professional” wildlife wardens and those “professional” law enforcement people and any other of those “professionals” who refuse to half believe people when they call in or file a report of seeing something unusual or out of the ordinary, is you don’t know what you’re talking about. Sometimes it’s so bad that officials bad mouth the public in a big way saying in so many words that the “untrained eye” can’t hardly ever distinguish what is actually being seen. Got my drift here? You’re dumb. They’re not.
Back to the black panther. So this guy says in a 911 call that he sees what he says is a 150-pound black cat and wants help. About 10 of those “professionals” show up and low and behold inside this old drainage pipe, which I believe is just laying on top of the ground, is a big old black cat. It must have looked huge in that pipe to a “professionally” “trained eye”. (snicker)
Those “professionals” who know what they are doing, commenced to taser the poor black cat when stuffing flew in all directions. The big 150-pound black cat was a stuffed rendition that perhaps someone stuck inside the drain pipe with prank on their mind. Prank they got!
So rest assured all you people who might from time to time hesitate before calling “professionals” to report something wicked weird you might have seen. Because now we know the real “professionals” can figure it out a lot better than you or I can.

Note: In all fairness to those “professionals”, they see a lot and do a lot and for that they have my respect. I hope they can laugh at this too.
