I agree. I don't know much about the situation but I think we are pushing our limits, we are punishing animals (in this case the cougar) for something that isn't really their fault. When you think about it, the Cougar didn't know that the dog was a pet, he didn't know that this was any different than a small wild critter. We are punishing him for something that is instinct.

That poor dog, that is just heart breaking.

We have had a few cougar spottings recently, but coyotes are a bigger problem over here.
