ELLENSBURG, Washington — State Fish and Wildlife officers trapped a cougar Thursday north of Ellensburg that they believe has been attacking farm animals and a pet dog.
 
Capt. Rich Mann told Daily Record (http://bit.ly/1jmh7I3) the cat had to be killed because it's attacking livestock.
 
It's believed the cougar attacked and injured a dog Wednesday and that it also attacked a sheep and two pygmy goats in the same area.
