I immediately recognized it as the "Plaster Table Leopard", a creature that is rarely seen outside its native habitat (Pier 1's, Discount Furniture Marts, and yard sales).
However, since this one was hanging around the dump, it obviously was deemed unfit for the company of humans, and was more than likely highly aggessive.
Sure enough, I noticed that it had somehow gotten into its classic attack position atop a target stand (er.. discarded headboard).
Fortunately, a few rounds of 10mm saved me from a grisly fate!
However, I'll need to make another trip, as after an intense search, I was unable to locate its mate. These things are usually encountered in pairs, afterall.

I have to laugh! My son had a torso mannequin of a woman that he used for an art project. Hubby wanted to go target shooting and asked if he could use it. My son said, "sure" and his shooting buddy thought it was weird, so he painted a bikini on it so it wasn't naked. They shot it up and one of the guys at the shooting range came up and said, "you got mama issues?"
Be safe next time when you go looking for its mate. Them plastic cats are mean little critters.
