PRINCETON, British Columbia, July 15 (UPI) -- Three cougars shot in the past two weeks after being spotted apparently stalking people is a rare occurrence in Canada, a conservation officer says.

One of the big cats was killed by a conservation officer July 3 near a campground in Princeton, British Columbia, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Tuesday.

The second was shot by a Princeton area man after being seen following two girls tubing down a river. The next day, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer killed a third cougar spotted hanging around a softball tournament.

Cougars are going wild... ...looking for fresh human prey.

[cripplecreek]

They’re sometimes spotted in the casinos.

Last e-mail from Mother up in Northwestern Wisconsin mentioned a couple of Cougar sitings in the county. Recovery? TEOTWAWKI? Maybe just nature living up to her potential?

Right you are. Here's one right now:

The beasts are losing their fear of man.

Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

[VicVega]

Couldn’t the victims of the alleged cougars stalking them get some sort of restraining order?

Sad to lose three cougars like this. I have a buddy that married a cougar and is living a very happy life.

[allmost]

Not guilty.

And on The View.

Ya know ... Stalking a softball game should be OK. Lose an right fielder or two? Just throw in a replacement from the bench.

Now, if you were to lose a catcher or first base? THAT would be trouble.

it shows Jack/Five but I think she’s holding a pair!

3 cougars stalking people shot in Canada

So, I assume these people that were shot were not killed but merely wounded, and the cougars were tracking them following the blood trail.

My question is: Did the cougars actually do the shooting?

[ovrtaxt]

I was stalked by three cougars once when I was 19.

Two of them caught me.

[Bratch]

[agere_contra]

Hunting people with Cougars is the second most violent sport in Canada, after ice-hockey.

Your comment is posted immediately below the image of post #4.
When I read it, it said:

"The breasts are losing their fear of man."

[Buck W.]

Don’t think so...

[cripplecreek]

LOL That’s what I thought too.

[fanfan]

[Westbrook]

Tsk, tsk, get a grip, man!
:)

I don’t even know who that sorry looking woman is.

I’m not much of a maven on popular culture.

[savedbygrace]

I’m not so sure ALL of her is 50.

;-)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Oh, you’re right, I hadn’t noticed her expression.

[savedbygrace]

The on screen graphic is wrong. She is NOT All In.

Some of her is out.

[VanDeKoik]

[RipSawyer]

I was relentlessly pursued by cougars when I was a young lad of twenty two, finally I was caught and mauled by one. I barely survived, I still smile when I think about it.

[ottbmare]

Now cougars are only in their thirties??? I thought the criteria included (1) being at least forty and (2, most important) going after much, much younger men.

[pollyshy]

My question is: do Cougars only stalk people shot in Canada? Do they taste better than people shot in the USA?

[library user]

Lol!

[Bratch]

I guess Canada is more liberal....in their definitions.

[DuncanWaring]

Maybe it’s Metric.

[DuncanWaring]

Or “Canadian years”, kind of like “dog years”.

[BibChr]

See, this is why search functions are so important.

I assumed someone had had the same thought that I had - and here you are. But put better than I would’ve.

3 cougars stalking people shot in Canada

From this headline I thought that cougars where stalking people who had been shot in Canada. Typical lazy journalism. Wouldn't a better headline be: 3 cougars shot after stalking people in Canada

[myknowledge]

LOL, that’s so 100% a funny parody of a Canadian ‘cougar’.

[myknowledge]

Toronto Star must get their act together next time.

[Stormdog]

“My question is: Did the cougars actually do the shooting?”

Probably. They’re exempt from Canada’s confiscatory firearms laws. It’s an “empowerment” thing for protected species./sarc

LOL, nice double entendre, but you probably already knew that.

Any response from PETA or others? I mean, these poor cougars, just doing what comes naturally... ;-)

Went to restaurant in Barrie, MA with my wife. The pretty young waitress hands us our menus and tells us about the special, “French Canadian meat pie.”

LiM: Is it made with real French Canadians?

Waitress: (Non-plussed) Yep.

LiM: Are they fresh?

Waitress: Boss traps ‘em fresh every day.

So, of course, by this time I’m committed to getting genuine French Canadian meat pie. After dinner, the waitress, a slow learner I suppose, ventures:

Waitress: How was your French Canadian meat pie?

LiM: I distinctly tasted Anglophone!

At which point I had totally lost her. I had to explain about Anglophone (in English, “Canadian”) and Francophone (in English “French Canadian”).

[Travis T. OJustice]

There’s a restaurant in Barre? Talk about the sticks!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The Colonel Barrie Inn. Since closed. Barrie gets some tourist business from New York City. It was actually named after an English MP who sided with the Colonies during the Revolution. Sort of like the John Kerry wing of the Hanoi War Museum.

[isom35]

someone needs to post the motorboat gif animation.

[Bob]

it shows Jack/Five but I think she’s holding a pair!

And a very nice pair, at that. :=)

[libs_kma]

Jennifer Tilly’s breathy voice and other assests are top notch I’d say...

[GladesGuru]

Since when was Obama named “Death”. Besides, if he rides like pitches - perhaps ther is some hope for us after all.

"Three cougars stalking people..."

Which one stayed home?

[50cal Smokepole]

Cougars are native to WI. Uh, I’m talking about the cats....
Oh, never mind.

[junkman_106]

Every time I drove my Mother to one of the Casino’s, I’d see a couple...snicker, snort!

“3 cougars stalking people shot in Canada”

Why are they shooting people in Canada and why would a cougar have to stalk somebody who has been shot?

[abb]

Why are they shooting people in Canada and why would a cougar have to stalk somebody who has been shot?

Maybe they were just wounded and "playing possum."

[madison10]

How were the cougars able to stalk the people who had been shot?
