I know they are totally dangerous - I grew up in the Pac NW. My husband's niece lost a pygmy goat to a cougar. Smaller livestock and pets disappeared from country homes on a regular basis.

During the last two years at the ranch, Western Montana was having problems with mountain lions. One of the gals I knew up Beaver Tail Road had a mature ram (Suffolk weighing between 250 - 300 lbs, taken over a 5-strand barbed wire fence without 'snagging' on the fence!!!

It was so bad over there, the loggers were reporting they saw no young deer in areas where deer hve always been abundant! And another friend....a former reporter/editor... recited to me that she and her family had to make a detour around a huge male lion out in the middle of the dirt road in the mountains where she lived.
