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.

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.

Do you think this suspect should be allowed to keep his dogs as his case unfolds?

Are you Fing kidding?

k san

Exactly! This awful man should never be allowed to own animals for the rest of his life! Once an abuser, always an abuser. No matter that he is a vet. It doesn't excuse this abusive behavior, especially over tiny dogs!

Lisa York

I don't think he should get his dogs back until a psych eval is done and he's deemed ok to own an animal. I also think that your reporter's continued hounding of him for an interview after he clearly declined was appropriate or professional.
