Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos said that while cougars “may look cute and cuddly when young, these animals can grow up to be unpredictable and dangerous.”
New York has seen other notable cases involving dangerous animals in private residences, including Ming, a 400-pound tiger that was removed from a Harlem apartment in 2003.
Ming’s owner, Antoine Yates, was arrested and sentenced to five months in prison for reckless endangerment. Ming died in 2019 at the Noah’s Lost Ark Exotic Animal Rescue Center in Ohio.
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said the cougar’s case “is currently under investigation and no further information is available at this time.”

If you look at YouTube animal videos, you will see loving, friendly cougars, lions, tigers, cheetahs, bears, wolves, rhinoceri, hippos, and so on. They can form complex relationships with people and with animals of different species. They all know how to play, in one way or another. Most of them like being petted. Many of them enjoy music.
I had no idea.

I recall about 30+ years ago at a small gun show a dude walking around in the crowd with an adult cougar on a heavy chain...(not his girlfriend)

I’d hit that until I wore it down to a nub.

Maybe the cougar is a emotional support animal or a emotional support female or a emotional support automobile .. 🤓

Always carry a laser pointer when you are in cougar territory, they love to chase the little dot.
Eventually they get to tired to stalk you anymore.
