Thanks, But No
A 2 yr. study by the Feds have found 13 locations in Arkansas to which they may relocate some Florida panthers. Let me think about that for a nanosecond. No.
Arkansas did not participate in the federal study, and Game and Fish Commission officials have said that the state wasn't interested in having Florida panthers stocked here.
Not that that'll make a hill of beans to the Feds. I say go ahead and relocate 'em....see how long they last. You know, there's reasons we hillbillies killed most of the panthers around these parts years ago. They prey on livestock and most small animals.....young'uns too if they get hungry enough. And if you're fool enough to think panthers won't live around humans, I suggest you talk to anyone who lives in Florida.
They can tell you different.

They must have looked at the "success" of the wolf reintroduction program.

And the success of the black bear & elk re-introduction here. Bear hunting season started several years ago, and they have a limited one for elk now too.
But we don't need no painters.
