MNR let some mating pairs go years back to control the deer population.Kept denying it even when cougar cages were pointed out in thier budget statement...I used to date someone who was in the group back then.
And on and on.My dad's uncle shot the first coyote in Flamborough in the early 50's.And they closed all the local schools the next day when it hit the Spectator because "all the wolves were going to eat the kids".....
Same with this pet cougar stuff.So in the end does it really matter.
If you are outside much or talk to people about it you know the odd cougar is around.And if you don't like the idea or choose to believe otherwise then to each is own.
Same with Bigfoot or anything else "unconfirmed"..
Definately more plausable that there are a few around then all these people with escaped pet or zoo cougars in every town.Because most towns have had sightings....
I saw one west of London a couple of years ago right in the ditch beside the 401.High noon and stalking up on something slow.Where it came from doesn't really matter.There it was.Big as a lab,yellow,tail as long as it's body with a black tip on it,tufted ears.
No collar that said Mitsy or anything though.
I don't, just the odds.... One got shot in 2012 not too far from Huntsville, last week cougar was sun tanning in front of the crowd and was sighted in two different location the same day, kind of weird when no one can get a pictures of one for decades!!!!Quote:

And everyone has thier own opinion and deserves one for sure.
For every one reported how many more do you think are not.We only hear a very small percentage that gets through media filters.
Personally I have seen one cougar and know of three other credible sightings through personal friends.And exactly none of them were reported.Why bother.And this is a known species.Just the debate about if they are wild or tame.
Same topic but different tangent and I am not going to highjack the thread on this but simliar with all kinds of unknown or even known species.I did mention the example with coyotes in the 50's.
And I have not myself but know personally of four credible people who say they saw a Bigfoot.And same number reported it as cougars.Zero.
Why bother.
Im of the mind its an escapee/released pet as well. I dont think this ends any arguments.
