COUGAR TERROR: Giant cat kills family's feline, tries to get in their house west of Calgary.It's absolutely appalling the fear mongering that Cory Morgan has done about the cougar kitten. This young cat has been displaced, has lost it's mother and now has to make it on its own. Fifty percent of predators die within the first years of life. They have to learn the necessary survival skills. It's not displaying aggression. Arm chair experts see a snarl and immediately assume it's aggressive. Not true. It's a fear response snarl. It also didn't eat the cat it killed it because mom and siblings wen't there to tear it apart. This demonstrates its lack of experience in fending for itself. It didn't come back, it never left. It hid somewhere and slept. Wolves also snarl and that's called a submissive grin. I have a behavioral science background and have been around most predators in the wild and as an invited guest at zoos. We are fortunate in Calgary to have most of the historical predators in our backyard. Please encourage your staff to speak with experts before they go on a rant.
