Exactly. The recent case in Idaho, a grandmother rushed her young grandchild to the nearest fire station because the neighbor’s ‘pet cougar’ escaped – again. The child will need a series of surgeries to repair damage to face, scalp, and shoulder. The grandfather was injured by the cougar after distracting it. The cougars owners have no insurance.

Another case of a ‘pet’ cougar – a jogger was attacked and nearly died jogging through a rural park in Idaho. Again, multiple surgeries, she was unable to work for nearly two years and owner had no insurance.
