I find it strange that the state animal of Florida is being driven to extinction by the state picking development and the quick money it brings over its own wildlife. (Wildlife does bring in money over a longer period of time, as that is why so many come down here. or is it?) Even though their numbers are slightly higher than reported in the 1980's after decades of over hunting there are more killed on the roads than ever before. In 2006, 11 endangered panthers were killed by vehicles. And in 2007, a record 15 were killed. (You will hear me say 14 twice in the video as in the time it took from filming to producing another cat was killed) **UPDATE OCT 2008- This year already another reported 17 panther deaths! Including 6 road kills, 1 from pneumonia, 1 accidental and 2 from attacks by another panther. 7 deaths are listed as having unknown causes.)** What will be the future of predators here in America? I often look to other countries and wonder why they can't protect their wildlife, and often forget about the poor job we do at it ourselves. The police trying to ticket speeders and the few protected fenced roadways can only do so much. It is up to us to decide if we really will change the way we use up land and resources to allow room for these beautiful predators. Thanks for watching.

The problem with South Florida is too many people with too much money. That being said peoples are going to develop where they please. It's unfortunate.

Who allows these places to be built? They get the OK from the local government that is VOTED IN by the people. Vote them out!

Dude, you said it. I hate living on the gulf coast, because I see too many new(and ugly) Townhomes, Wal-Marts, shopping malls, and Condominiums. It sickens me to no end how you can bulldoze a salt marsh(Home to herons, bald eagles, gray foxes, diamondback terrapins, florida water snakes, etc.) and just put up a new house with ugly, non-native Palms planted all around it. Horrible.

yes its a shame, but the other day in Everglades Florida I was walking down a trail and I herd the growling of a fully grown panther. Yes I was scared I think when they paths for people to walk on it needs to be more protected I mean it was 20 feet away from me. Not only would protect the humans but them too. Anyone could go in this trail and start shooting them. But they are beautiful animals first time I saw one Im tourist in Florida =]
