It may not be relocated, it is an animal that, as a preditor, has lost its fear of humans... sadly it will resume its behavior if relocated near humans... our domesticated animals are easy pickings, our kids are easy pickings. Bears like this are often destroyed, sad I think but probably needed. Personally I would love to see it trapped and moved to the wilderness though

Rob. you do what you have to do. i like animals as much as anyone and probably more then some.
I grew up in Northern Alberta (the Athabasca Forest to be exact) and know first hand what a predatory animal can do when it has lost it's fear of man. there is no way we can know what an animal is thinking, so taking one out before it has done something is not an option....... if it is just hanging out. as soon as there an agressive stance or repeated forray's into an inhabited area to eat livestock, there is a serious problem and people can either suck up their guts and deal with it, or wish they had right after a young child has his life taken away. these behaviours are not nature's course.
i don't condone the useless slaughter of animals in any way. that cat has gotta go. I have been on a cougar hunt once, for a problem cougar, and I will never go near one ever again. what i saw that cougar do that day, both aggresively and defensively. scared the livin'.......out of me.
what a cougar can do to a dog in 10 seconds is not something any person should ever have to see. you had a taste Rob, with your ewe, just a taste.
have your conservation officers deal with this ASAP.

I have a story & pix about an elk hunt on my pc somewhere that I'm going to post if I can ever find it......long story short, the hunters horse/mule kicks the ever loving **** out of a cougar that was stocking them during the hunt. Interesting read for sure. Hope I can find it.
^^^^ your are correct with the story about a horse and a cougar. Our neighbours horse took after a cougar as well. A$$clown cat was back again last night. It's really pissing me off. I own you cat, you are so mine.
