“They are curious and they’re at the top of the food chain,” he said. “There are few animals they fear, including humans."
Wrong. Humans are at the top of the food chain, at least some of them. I count myself as one of them. Cougars need to be taught that they are lower than humans on the food chain. That is what hunting traditionally does.

Yes, they definitely need to be hunted enough to relearn that fear.

I'm sorry but this cougar was not curious, he was hungry. I don't understand why some people will have you believe that "animals" don't like the taste of human flesh.
That cougar that can chase down deer in full stride, tackle a moose and rip an elk's throat out sees us as an easy target when they are hungry and we are alone.
