The same of Alien life forms, however most scientist believe that life most likely exists outside of our planet.

lol YD.
In truth I'd give my proverbial left arm to see and photograph one in the wild (domestic escapee or not).
I guess in the end, it just comes down to what someone choose to think/beleive. Me, given the probabilities (both being here and seeing/finding one) I think we do have some wild ones here, but we aren't talking big numbers. A couple dozen maybe?
Now maybe theres someone on the forum who understands DNA testing, I only have the basic most rudimentary understanding, but lets assume someday a Juvenile is found and its tested and the DNA says at some point in its life it ate (or its parents???) beef and sheep?
Escapee?
Wild?
Or its a 1 year old cat, not sure how finding beaver and venison in its DNA "proves" thats not from some guys freezer and roadkill that he fed it before it escaped at 6 or 8 months of age..

Most have no doubt that aliens exist, but among us, or are visiting us is another thing altogether....MIB....

So.... should a DNA test take 4 months?

I sent an email to Bob Borrows (the journalist who wrote the story) and got back this reply:
ROBERT BOWLES
8:16 PM (8 hours ago)
MNRF said it would be the end of the summer before they got the DNA testing completed and they would let me know when that happened. I have not heard from them..

Interesting... thanks Mike. It seems like a very long time but then again I don't know much about the DNA testing process.

Most likely they have not got around to it.

I suppose it depends on priority...Bin Laden IDed from his sister's DNA in about 8 hrs.
Average LE times was usually < 3 months unless something bigger took priority.
The cat is likely low on the priority list.

I would order DNA testing 8+ yeas ago. Back when I was associated with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.
It could take 3-6 months for a DNA report.
If you think it happens like CSI--- it does. Once you start the test, the results return reasonably quickly.
But in Ontario, unless you are testing for an extremely high profile case, there is an enormous wait time until the Lab Tech/Scientists get to processing the sample.
