In Reply to: Re: Cougars in Michigan posted by tractormarkb on March 04, 2009 at 10:57:29:

I get so frustrated when I read comments on websites of people wondering why officials are not doing anything about cougar sightings. They are doing something, they are buying up green space, increasing fines for harming cougars, and studying them to make sure they can put all the appropriate plans into place to make sure the cougars are safe enough to become a sustainable population by 2013. They are not an endangered species being protected, they are the highly numerous northern cougar that someone decided should have a protected path into Ontario. They have already proven there is no Eastern cougar, read the most current articles, the experts do not refer to them as eastern, just cougars in the east. Will they be presented as the answer to the deer overpopulation and coyote management? Since they are more adaptable than a coyote and their only enemy is man and a nasty kick by their prey, what will manage the cougar when they do what the coyote did, get out of control? Are cougars stalking Ontario or is Ontario stocking cougars? What will this mean to sugar bushes and pumpkin patches, scouts and girlguide camping trips, hikers, weekend getaway campers, should we embrace what they are doing, or should we protest? A bigger question is, do we have a choice, are we being appropriately informed, how long before the public as a whole knows "the plan" that has been in place since 2006. Do we want an Ontario that in rural communites our children have to be escorted to and from bus stops, children cannot be unattended travelling to friends or playing in yards. Children and pets have to be restricted so wild animals can have the freedom of using our properties. For every article that tells you not to worry about cougars, they all end the same way, you should not leave children or pets unattended and you shouldn"t walk alone. Don"t crouch down. Call me crazy but to have to have those restrictions on my own property feels threatening. These animals are not native to our area, they are not endangered. I understand animal rights but is there a line when restricting peoples rights to encourage an animal that is not even from here. We are already seeing increased encounters in the papers all over Ontario, what type of encounters are we going to see when they actually reach sustainable numbers.
