Cougars in populated areas pose a threat to livestock, people and pets. They need to be moved elsewhere.

THERE IS NO NEED TO KILL DEFENSELESS ANIMALS, THAT IS JUST WRONG!! RELOCATE THEM!!

Donna Reed

Yes, sadly.

Ka San

Yes, trap and move them. I agree that we have encroached on their territory, but it doesn't change the fact that they are predators and peoples' animals and livestock are at risk.

Cynthia Wolfe

I am conflicted, we humans have taken their natural paths away and then we are shocked and want the animals to pay for our way of life. The cougars are an issue but the biggest issue is US.

Lynn Huntley

Trap and move them. It is not the animals' fault people have infringed on their habitats.

Facetious_Fetus

We found our govt with the expectation that they will protect and serve us. They need to follow through on this obligation.

Human interactions with cougars are very rare, and trapping-relocation rarely goes well.

Open hunting with dogs again educating wild cats and bears to stay in the backcountry

ODFW needs to control the population of Cougars with MORE paid hunters with dogs, Like the old days. Then maybe there will be a Deer or Elk for me to eat!!!

Beverly Beall-Shockcor

Maybe we should quit taking away such a large portion of their habitats by building neighborhoods within the forest.

Sam Ackerman

They help keep stray animals under control. Including the ones that should be on a leash.

Neta Marlin

If we are going to live here, in their home, we need to learn to live WITH them, in harmony,not just kill them for hunting,.I'm sorry those people lost their animals, circle of life~ not the suburbs

Ka San

They didn't suggest killing them, just moving them.

The Oregon government and local police force has done a HORRIBLE job at keeping crime down, protecting cities, citizens and federal agents. If they can't do their job, TRUMP WILL.

Mike OConnor

Oh yeah, Trump did a great protecting when he incited the riot at the Capital on January 6th. Then had the unmitigated gall to pardon his MAGA idots for their crimes. What a guy...

Trump's a big man-baby... needs to get his own house in order before sticking his nose in our business...and what's -her -name is just a mouthpiece...no original thought on anything...

Mike OConnor

I usually spend a number of days each month in the Portland area, including downtown. Having worked in downtown Portland for many years, yes it's not what it once was. Having said that, it's definitely not a "war zone" and nothing like Trump and his minions would like you to think.

Richard Martinson

A bunch of crap from the Trump administration that hopes to incite a violent response that justifies the use of violence and military action. Illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. Get them out!

Jim McAllister

Because the exaggeration of conditions in Portland, LA, memphis and Chicago is nowhere near the actual events. He and his henchpeople including traitor dereamer are only creating a reason to occupy american cities and attack the democrats.

Lexus Maximus

It’s a very small minority that’s causing a problem and for the most part, the marches are peaceful and none-combative. Portland’s problems, generally speaking; are the homeless sleeping on the streets and trashing the area, and not people marching in the streets.
