What are some causes of Cougar overpopulation? To strict of laws, banning dog hunting, People thinking about where they live in the city and not thinking about other places in Oregon, People strictly against the killing of animals and them being stubborn and getting what they want. That is helping the cougars over populate. The same people not thinking about the farmers and rancher who have to deal with the cougars taking away them framer and ranchers profit, also they aren’t thinking about where their steaks and other meats come form. Where is that from, The farms and ranches that are being devastated by the cougars killing their livestock that would soon be your dinner, lunch or breakfast. Once they got their way and all the wild games, livestock, pets and other creatures would be gone, and all there would be is bugs fish, birds, and plants. Not all birds and insects are edible. The other thing would be snakes. So, when there is no more food left, we could blame them for it. We tried to tell them. But thy were to stubborn and in their own world.
Then there are the people like you and me. Who say that give out more cougar tags. So, that the population does not go totally crazy and all of the wild games, farm and ranch animals, and pets don’t get eaten because of people like them. The people like me say let people dog hunt for cougars. I could be for a certain tome of the year, and only two dogs allowed. Maybe even make it to where you have to get a dog cougar/ Bear tag to do it. Just make the price super cheap. But, still listen to the others too. They might have some good ideas too. Just don’t listen to them all the time or jus make any decision a majority vote. Then just way the odds of which one your committee thinks is better, and just add all of those votes the side that the most of the committee choose, and then make your decision. Thats what I say.
