Comment: I have been saying this for 44 years now.  The ODFW does NOT care about the wildlife in Oregon.  At the first sight of a Cougar, they call in their State Sniper and shoot it stating it was a Danger to the children.  To my knowledge, there has NOT been a child killed in Oregon EVER by a Cougar.   Same with a Bear, KILL it.  If you look at other states like  Alaska, California, Maine, New Hampshire, Wyoming,  Montana, Florida, and there are many other states as well,  that place a  #1 emphasis VALUE on  their wildlife, and  that when a Cougar, Bear is sighted, they send out their Wildlife people, TRANQUILIZE the animal, and relocate it 3-4 + hundred miles away.  

Our ODFW here states, "It had to be killed because it  became non-fearful of human beings.  This is just a bunch of ODFW...... B & * ( ^ $ # T....

Read the Sign:  TRANQUILIZE  AND RELOCATE.................
