Honestly? More comfortable with a child in a crib with a mountain lion than a poodle? Even a de-clawed mountain lion?
Like I said, a little odd yes.
But, who am I to judge a situation I know absolutely nothing about.
After working with big cats, I learned pretty fast, that they are not what most people think they are.
But in all honestly, I will tell you I am a bad person to ask. I own some of the most venomous snakes in the world, and 20 foot long 175 pound snakes. These are housed in my house.
I also put peoples kids on the top of 1000+ pound horses.
I put a lot of faith in my personal knowledge and decision making when it comes to handling dangerous animals.
But, I understand that like in the possible case of that picture, some people don't have the personal knowledge to make critical decisions.
But, then again. I understand there are a lot of people out there that make me and my knowledge look pre-school.
So, like I said. Who am I to judge a situation I know nothing about based off of a 1-1 millionth snap shot in time.
I too put people's children on 1000+ animals on a regular basis but have absolutely no experience with large cats and huge snakes. Cougars and children strike me as a bit more potentially lethal than do poodles and children, however I trust standard poodles far more than I do miniature... I'm enjoying your input to the forum and am glad you are here.

The Poodle comment was more of a personal joke. When I was young, probably 8 years old my Aunt used to have these two Toy-Poodles. They were named Baby and Star. These dogs were the most necrotic, nasty dogs I have ever seen.... and she brought them with her everywhere! Hahaha.
It made family get togethers hell. I don't think I ever came home from one with out being bitten and sometimes hard enough to bleed.
So, it is kind of funny now, but I can not see Toy-Poodles to this day with out thinking about my Aunt and her crazy dogs.
Come to think about it my Aunt was pretty crazy too. Hahaha.
So, growing up with that, I will take my chances with a Cougar!
Also, thank you. I am enjoying talking to you guys too. Sorry if some of my comments seem argumentative. I am not trying to be that way. I understand it is hard to share emotion on the internet from typing and that things get lost in translation.
I am not really an opinionated guy. I like to hear both sides of every story. I just enjoy the friendly convo.
Nothing you said came across as argumentative in my opinion, and yes, I know how easy it is for the typed word to come out unlike it was intended... Been there, done that, will most likely continue to do so.
Small, yappy, obnoxious poodles make great cougar meals!

Necrotic poodles. This mental image made me laugh out loud, zombie poodles with a taste for blood. ( I know you meant neurotic LOL )
My ex had a white GSD who got excited and nipped my son on the side while he was swinging. They got rid of the dog the next day because she was "dangerous" not the puppy with a lot of prey drive and no common sense that she was.
The only dog that has ever truly bitten me out of aggression was a Chihuahua. The little terd was viciously attacking me and managed to bite through my heavy hiking boot. Meanwhile the owner was just going about his business while the little thing did his best to kill my foot.
Took everything I had not to drop kick that dog across the room.
