The current situations with cougars (mountain lions etc...) are interesting. You could be a Florida Panther, which are protected and slowly heading towards extinction (as many are hit by vehicles each year due to a huge population growth in Florida), or you could be a western puma and legally hunted in states like Oregon for a $10.00 fee.
The cougars we mostly hear about are those that are people's former pets. We get calls all the time where people went out and bought a cute fluffy cougar cub only to realize that like all animals, they grew up.
Our "cubs" were sent here around 2 years ago after their mother was shot in the wilderness. A lot of you have been asking how they are doing, and this video taken at feeding time on whole prey night, will give you the chance to see that they have grown up.
Thank you for watching.
