What Killed a Roane County Farmer's Pigs?
By: WhitesCreek

Either way TWRA seems to be saying we probably don't have have a mountain lion and probably do have a bear in the Roane State Community College area. This should be fairly easy to determine if the right person gets a look at the "crime scene". I know it's grusome to some but I would like to see photos of the wounds these animals suffered. Here's a mountain lion track to give you something to compare to the track they show. I would think there would have to be a number of other tracks as well.

The video is here:

Here's a bear front paw.

Would a bear kill multiple

Would a bear kill multiple animals and just leave them there? Seems like a wild carnivore would kill one, drag it away, and eat it. Dogs will kill multiple animals with no intention of eating them.

I want to see the wounds.

I want to see the wounds. That would tell us more than anything else except tracks. I'm wondering how big these pigs were? No dog could get into a pen that will hold a pig. A puma would simply go over the top, grab what it wanted and leave with it, unless it was over 75 pounds or so. A bear is more likely. You males behave oddly at times.

The authorities have backed away from saying there aren't any mountain lions in the Tennessee. But this case is not normal Puma behavior.
