Man fights cougar for his dog

[Catherine]

The Coywolves are something we have created by driving animals from their natural environments. I don't think the two species would have crossed paths otherwise. They have no fear of humans. Every year people let their pets out at night and they don't return. They warn them about Coywolves and regular coyotes, but it doesn't seem to help.

I still wish they had tried to relocate the cougar. They didn't give it a chance. All it was doing was hunting and someone offered it what it saw as food. It didn't attack a human and it was in the bush and the dog went to it. If the guy had kept his dog with him the incident wouldn't have happened.
