They are dangerous, and usually you don't see them unless they are stalking you. They are pretty shy. There have been several cases of people killed by cougar in the US in the last few years, as their habitat is being encroached upon. They will definitely kill dogs. quote:

ORIGINAL: Iamsemisweet But yes, I would shoot a cougar in my horse corral. Don't know many people who wouldn't. Complete aside: I don't think I've even seen a cougar in a zoo. How dangerous are they? I know that the smallest of the big cats - cheetahs, for instance, won't usually pick a fight with humans. Will a cougar, if hungry, jump an adult human? I wouldn't frigging need that on the way back from the pub.
