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.

There were only half a dozen recorded cases of cougars arttacking humans in all of North America in the 400 years up to about 1970. Enough cougars were hunted to keep them afraid of man. Since the whinny assed liberals have stopped the hunting on the West Coast, the cats have lost all fear of man and regard him as an easy target

No fangs, no claws, no hooves, just nice chewy meat...

I caught a TV special a couple of years ago about lions in the S.California area...and I have to admit it, I cracked up when a lady was interviewed and she was telling about how she had moved out to the burbs to be "one with nature" but hadn't counted on seeing Fifi, her beloved poodle being carried out of the yard in a big lion's mouth. Apparently lions hang around the burbs because of the swimming pools...they are the only water source during the dry summeer months. Then of course, there is the occasional french food.
