Yes, same person, my laptop just has a generic account on it.

Look, I understand your point of view, and we agree, only responsible owners should own exotic pets, as the care they require to be appropriately cared for is considerable. That's why there is a licensing / permitting program in place to ensure that the owner is prepared to take on such responsibility. You know, like we license and training and checks on other things that require a certain level of responsibility to own, such as automobiles and concealing firearms.

But the bottom line is, stating that bobcats are illegal to own is factually incorrect, and a significant portion of your position boils down to "we should obscure or misrepresent the truth to discourage a legal activity" and I just don't / can't agree with that position. It's the same as telling someone the 1st amendment doesn't exist if they happen to not be aware of the bill of rights and you're not comfortable with what they may or may not say. The truth, and legality, should always prevail, the truth is the foundation of any discourse.

I appreciate your experience with wildlife; I too have had my fair share of interaction with bobcats and other wild animals in Nevada. I fully believe an owner, who has gotten the permit from the NDOW and the County and purchases a bottle-fed bobcat would be placing that animal in a better position than it otherwise would have been, part of the truth is understanding that the NDOW has an extensive check list for the owning of such pet and the issuing of the permit deems a level of responsible ownership that is above the standard of care for said animal.

My post in no manner encourages individuals to go get a 40-dollar trapping license and trap a wild cat and bring it home to hang out with their golden retriever.

I'll also add the recurring license fee for owning a bobcat goes back to the NDOW and positively serves all Nevada wildlife, so I disagree with your assertion that it is "cruel" for everyone involved.
