You're Wanted In Wyoming!
I've always harbored the idea that the best Halloween costume of all time would be to go as Doktor Schnabel von Rom, the Plague Doctor.
Now, it looks like I could do just that, as two mountain lions have died in Wyoming - victims of the Bubonic Plague!
In a little more than a year, four area mountain lions have died from the disease and several domestic cats have tested positive, said Ken Mills, a professor of veterinary sciences who diagnosed the cats' disease in his University of Wyoming laboratory.
The mountain lions died at the end of October, but the university just issued a warning to hunters and cat owners on Thursday.
The area affected is a sparsely populated portion of northwest Wyoming that includes little known and infrequwntly visited places like Yellowstone National Park and Jackson.
