That lion was not part of the program it had killed another persons dog year or so prior. Homeowners didn't want the lion euthanized so it was collared. I wonder how many other pets in that area went missing in the last year?

The game warden on scene, against wdfw policy, decided not to kill it, and instead have it collared for the predator prey study. That same game warden told me he thinks cougars are beautiful and people shouldnt kill them. Hes also prevented lethal removal on prior livestock depredations and been threatening toward the livestocks owners.
Don’t know why people have to be so negative. Great article. I appreciate the effort being made to manage cougars. Thanks for sharing Dale, and good work Bart!
