Why are cougars and/or bears killed when they attack people or domestic animals?
Every cougar attack has been predatory, so they see humans as a potential meal, especially children. These traits don’t need to be passed on to more, and it will continue to stalk humans. It has to be destroyed. Bears, sometimes are predatory, sometimes are defensive, but they too will continue attacking humans. There are record numbers of animals, and record numbers of humans, so it isn’t always the human that came later in a certain area. The animal only knows it wants to eat, defend or EXPAND it’s territory. Something has to give somewhere, and when it comes to childrens safety, the animals will ALWAYS lose.
