  • There are tons of videos on youtube showing cats including cougars being hunted, flag the videos for animal abuse like I have, so they will get removed.

  • when my family and i went up north and on the first night it was scary, there was a mountain lion surrounding the cabin

  • i really dont think ppl should hunt at all just got to the store and buy somthing its not like it doomsday and we got to live off the land.and i think it wrong to hunt down an animal that kills someone .i mean a person kills a person and we just lock em up and feed em 3 meals a day.if ppl keep killing em eventully there wont be any left.

  • @dragonsm41 People shouldn't be self-reliant as long as they can rely on others (the store) to provide their food for them? That doesn't make any sense. As far as killing a Cougar after it attacks a person, that depends on why it attacked. If it attacked defensively and didn't feed on it's human victim, than no. But if it attacked as a predatory response, especially if it succeeded, than it is better to remove it so it does not begin attacking with regularity.

  • @MrPhatbassturd  how dose it not make sense.

  • If farmer's would get livestock guardian dogs to protect there livestock... these dogs are effective at keeping predators away... good for the farmers, and the cat gets too live!

  • What a sad video, gives us humans a bad image. Those hunters should be genocided.

    Cougars, such beautiful creatures (no wonder why thery are my favorite)

  • i love washington sate they have the best weed: ) )

  • I live in Washington and I wish I could make a law to stop hunting in our state, but that will never happen =(

  • i like what anton lavey did once when he was growing up he watch some other kid hit a bird with a bibi gun or somthing and he shot back at the kid ,,thats good,,,teach hmumans a lesson dont you think ..i love karma

  • Kill them motherfuckers

  • my pumas gettin pretty old, dad said well soon have 2 put him down...

  • stupid hunter ....

  • Stupid Hunters! Ignorance takes more lives than anything else. Its not the cougars fault, its the humans that are taking the animal's land!

    When will they learn? XD

  • @xPowerofwillx i want to go red neck hunting i say hunt the fucking red necks..i love mt lions people should respect such a beuitiful animla what comes around goes around and karma will be upon people soul oneday,they should leave the animals alone

  • go to my own country? LOL

    the last time i check, this country belong to indians, not some pale skin animal porn loving sick fuck like you..

    why dont you go back to europe? BECAUSE THIS SIDE OF THE WORLD BELONG TO INDIANS, MYANS, AND AZTECS

  • Thank you Yellow.. it's nice to see there are SOME people in this world who realize the america's belong to the natives. It's funny when a white american tells someone to go back to their own country. Now if they'd only follow their own advice.

  • APACHE INDIAN NATIVE AMERICAN PRIDE =] Fuckin europeans..

  • If you are so proud of your race, go live in an Asian country then where govts are corrupt and pollution is rampant. Why don't you wake up in face the reality of the 21st century? The world belongs to NO ONE. You sound like a very jealous person who is insecure. A powerless victim crying and moaning and blaming someone else for your MISERABLE life. Therapy would be excellent for you.

  • Why don't the people stay off the cougar's territory? Stay on your own territory, people.

  • white people are the most evil bitches on earth but they cry about every little thing that asian people do

  • i live in washington and i cant stand all the housing communitys and all the dam asains! and imergrents and californains moving here and buying up all the land! and if you want to bitch about white people bitching about you then go to your own country! simple as that! and thats why ppl get atacked buy cats cause were getting forced to move closer to them cause of you imergrents! moving here! so stay out of the usa and the northwest! and screw all you anti hunters! hunting helps nature! look itup

  • Hunting helps nature? Let wolves and jaguars who once roamed N. America back in and they will easily take care of nature instead of human hunters.

  • yeah because asians are taking over.

  • You sound like a very very RACIST person. Why do you have to insult other races if you're proud of your own? You sound like a crybaby yourself.

  • @YellowSupremacist I am a white person and I greatly admire Asian people they are so respectful and the reason they do so well in school is because they don't take education for granted

  • omg.. it is their own fault.. they build houses and whatever wherever they want and don't think about the price they pay for the nature around. don't blame the animals for beeing natural, and going by their natural instinct..

  • Why the hell do they have to ranch :X

    xD YOU CAN DO IT IN TEXAS

  • people should just fucking go in that stupid fuckin town and pump their gutts with fuckin lead!! That damn town is such a piece of shit! They know its cougar country...NO DRRR its called cougar mountain! If their fuckin kids get eaten then maybe they should use their fuckin brains and fuckin move!!! GOD I HATE THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT!

  • Cougars are America,s Big Cats! There are so few of them left

  • I dont know much abt it but cant we relocated such species in other forests of the world??

    giving them new homes wud be much better idea..!

  • im sorry for those cougars

  • we move into their territory and when they kills a cow or something we get mad and hunt them...... why cant they just live in peace we are thedestroyers of earth -.-....... we are killing us and all animals

  • I so agree. We have moved into their territory and then complain that they are here. Seemls like we are the trespassers. Long live the cougar!

  • forget the cougar threat, your english is killing me. You needs to gets back to schools to gets you a jobs.

  • Learn spanish then if u whant to understand me Lol....

  • this reminds me of brokeback mountain, not the cougars, the guys. they just seem...

  • "2 weeks later was shot by a hunter". This is what really makes me sick... Humans are Earths worst parasites...

  • We should just stop growing in population and stop development in rural areas. Damn humans

  • agree

  • easier said than done

  • Such a beautiful animal. I would love to see one in the wild. I agree with you carlsbadgap. We are moving into their territory, not the other way around. There is a related subspecis in FL that is one the verge of being exint

  • i think some dude has already did that?

  • this is so sad, i live in eastern canada and the cougar is now extint here (althogh sitings are still reported once in a while), there a magnificent creature that rarely harm humans and there is no need for them to be shot.

  • Thats really sad

  • my cat looks just like a cougar

  • I dare you to fight a cougar, we are not stronger we are just more advanced.

    Learn the difference between a gun and fists.

  • no one likes you.

    you touch your self at night

  • they need to leave the cougar alone if the cougar is bothering the people the people should get the fuck out of there cause that is cougar territory

  • omfg people need to just leave the cougars a lone!!!!!! They are living!!!!

  • I absolutely HATE when cities development plans (if there's a plan) don't take into account the space of animals or protected florests. - Like happens also in my country, Brazil. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Damn it, greedy engeneering companies ans stupid people.

  • fucking people , cougar should kill everyone moving into their territory

  • I thought this was an older women sex video...

  • It is also the name of a college football team.

  • Yes.

  • We need to keep in mind that these animals are not in our backyards... rather, we are in THEIR front yards!!!

  • its sad we push the wild animals out of their habitat and kill them because they are a newcence to some people!

  • This video makes them seem pretty tame, but those things are distrubingly big and insanely muscular. They could tear you apart easily. Cougars frighten me.

  • I think it's funny when sprawl people move out to North Bend and then complain about the big cats eating their pets.

    It would be even funnier if they ate their rotten kids as well. Let's drink to that!

  • why do they have to kill cougrs!!!!!! would a hunter like oit if sombody shot a sniper bullert at them?

  • a lot of ppl dont understand that mountain lions arent just ur lil friendly kitty, if u see one in the woods, that usually means its after you

    would u just walk away if a mountain lion walked up on you? its not like hunters are out to kill them all, we're just protecting ourselves if ever encountered

  • i know but i meant that some people kill cougars for no reason and thats mean they put the fur on there wall and thats cruel

  • hey caracalserval shutup god damn treehuggers like you are the reason gas is through the roof. shut the fuck up.

    P-people

    E-eating

    T-tasty

    A-animals

  • amen

  • haha, show me a person with a cougar coat on their wall (a cougar they killed for fun, actually spent their time hunting JUST for fur) and ill make gas prices go back to $1...ya not happening

  • well, yeah the gas prices thing was a little off subject but u get the point lol =]

  • I don't think it's the hunting that's threatening them. More like habitat loss like the narrator said in this clip.

  • i dont think anything is threatening them, cougars are becoming a problem across the US even in non-developing areas

  • i agree with u!

  • i hav been to washington wiv my dog (german shephard). we encountered with a cougar but my dog chased it away :D

    i wudnt be alive if it wasnt for my dog

  • I hear the cougars at night and its such a lovely sound. I do think we should do that we can to honor their home first...they shouldnt be killed for wanting to eat...~Raven

  • no one eats cougars...

  • people dont eat cougars if there being hunted its for trophy

  • Nicely done americans..

  • i should shut up now but i feel like ranting people who think there special cuz they have a gun deserve to die you dont just kill animals without purpous the only reasons you should ever kill things are if they are causing serious harm (looking at you funny doesnt count) to you or your property and there is no other way to stop them, or you need food and are going to use every part of the animal.and if your a dumb fag who dies you deserved it cuz animals dont kill without purpous like ppl do

  • people are to scared of animals i live in canada and the people here in the country dont freak if they see a bear but the city slickers have a heart attack and draw knifes and play dead xD animals sence fear you must respect them but not fear them and then your safe and so is the animal

  • without our guns and bullets, humans are nothing to them. how can we share such a small world with so many animals? it's unfair to them cause they have every right to live and hunt. to drastic measures, the only way to stop extinction of animals is to decrease the human population. i don't want to live in a world where only cows, ducks, chickens, goats are left.

  • i remember when i fucked one up. That shit tried to arm wrestle me.

  • Fuck humans! Save the oversized cats!

  • Por q hace esto la gente por Dioss..!!

  • i dont like you

  • cougars are our friends!

  • Yet they eat our children.

  • so do we ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Its cuz they taste so good. Just kiddin'

  • cougars are just so adorably cute, i hope they will thrive well and hopefully one day we can have genetically miniature ones as our pets

  • They're called cats.

  • Well because of the housing plunge Conservation groups are buying more land and developments are at a standstill. A lot of America's land and marine areas is preserved for example natinal parks, state parks, local parks, watermanagement areas, wildlife management areas. Reduce immigration significantly that's the answer and conservation groups needed t0 continue to buy any land they can. We got enough people in this country, we don't need no more.

  • Just sick!

  • The Humans are the ones who Moves in on the cougars lands and they have to pay the price with death... -.-

  • LOL i drive a cougar.

    But seriously, they were there first. Humans need to GTFO.

  • They came across the Bering Strait with the Native Americans. Whitey needs to GTFO.

  • I say let the cougars roam free and if they eat your cattle then deal with it. They were here first and anything they do to us we deserve. Let them attack us, let them into our backyards, its the natural thing to do.

  • Will you say that when they rape your kid with their barbed cat penises?

  • Yes.

  • You're hardcore.

  • hunters like hunting...then let them hunt each other!! gun-fuckers!!

  • Fucking hunters! :@

  • I know men. Stupid them.

  • Then move somewhere else.

  • your moms a cougar... OHHHHHHH!!!

    but srsly.. i was glad to see a NG youtube video without explosions and boobs. good job guys!

  • then they should move off of the cougars' land.

  • Exactly. Leave the animal alone. Fine better place to live. If we don't do anything, the cougars may become parts of the endanger species too. I hope not.

  • go cougars!

  • It's sad to hear that, they are beautiful animals, but I am scared of them attacking me when I'm hiking. =O Keeping things balanced has never been easy.

  • THEY WOULD MAKE NICE FUR COATS! :OD

  • oh my god humans freaking mess up everything!!

  • true

  • The fact humankind has essentially shooed these cats from their rightful territory is justification for the outcasts to 'help themselves' every now and then to a farm animal.

  • Great job!

  • I thought this video was going to be about some 40 something year old, good looking women from Washington st.

    The big cats were pretty cool though...

  • LMAO i live here

  • cant even watch this crap quality

  • video quality sucks shit!

  • fuck stupid people who just shoot animals for the fuck of it, if you kill it you eat it.

  • would be nicer if you uploaded in higher quality. i have a tutorial about how to do it. when watching videos like this you want good quality. i myself have started doing natural videos and they kick your vids in the face lol

  • It's pathetic that humans use the word balance. It's pretty obvious that the humans want the bigger share. This applies to almost all situations.

  • You couldn't be more correct.

  • haha watching this i  thought

    Twilight...

    Edward...

  • not to be racist or anything but humans fucked up everything in this beautiful world. if i see a hunter and they just kill big cats for money, i will stab the fuck out of him or her and feed him or her to the cougars. seriously

  • Agreed.

  • That's fine. Your comment is not racist at all...

  • ......sir?

  • That wouldn't be racism.

  • Your a liar.

  • umm what?

  • LEVE THE Cougars alone you fags

  • humans just suck every thing out of this beautiful planet.

  • Including air >.>

  • I lived on Cougar Mountain for years. I've seen coyotes, black bears, hawks, owls, hummingbirds. You would see deer every day. I've never seen a wild cougar. They are very elusive.  This is five minutes from downtown Seattle.

  • cougar mountain is not 5 minutes from downtown.

    its more like 15.

  • Lakemont to the stadiums in 5 minutes. You're probably the tard that blocks up the passing lane. FYI "FLAMMABLE."

  • 5 minutes is a really short period of time.

    idk what to tell you. It hasn't taken me 5 minutes b4(although I've only driven it a few times), and Google maps says 15 minutes, like I said before.

    as for Flamable_Steve, its a character name I used in a short story I wrote back in elementary school. The misspelling wasn't intentional back then. But it is now.

  • I don't know about the cougars, but there were some problems building Lakemont boulevard out to I-90. Something about destroying an endangered owl's habitat. The owls lost and the road was built.

  • America you fucking suck!!!

    Every animal and organism has to pay the price b/c of this country..shit i feel ashamed to be called an american sometimes...

  • I read an article a couple years ago about a single bear that wandered into the Alpine part of Germany and people freaked out and wanted the authorities to get rid of it. I grew up in Washington state and we have thousands of two different species of bears and people for the most part don't freak out about them like the Germans did.

  • this was supposed to be to a reply about some Eurotrash cursing out Americans, don't know how it became its own post.

  • very good coverage of this problem with people not always willing to live close to predators.

  • of course they attack people..they are WILD animals and they don't know any better.. They attacked a couple on a hiking trail and it mauled the husband.. Can't blame animals when land that was once there's is now disappearing.

  • poor fuckin cougars

  • wtf did that hick say between 00:55 and 00:59??

  • Do they attack people?

  • I can see both points of views. Some things are like prisons, we need them, but I don't want to live by one.

  • i dont get it dumb fucking people move to where the animals are and then shoot them for being there PEOPLE FUCKING SUCK

  • I live in Washington state. I wish I could see a cougar, but I live in the city. :( Maybe during summer vacation when I travel a bit. :D Good video! Sad that one got killed a by a hunter!

  • Shocking. Suburbanites move to a place called Cougar Mountain, then complain about cougars getting in their yard.

  • true

  • crap, I live in Kent, Washington!

    I kinda hope I dont encounter one, my friend was telling me that there was one in his backyard and neihborhood, and it killed a Lab. And a cat. This was just the other day too.

  • AMAZING ANIMALS!!!!

  • Whats up with the crappy quality of this video. I expect more from National Geographic.

  • Goddamn hunters. Should lock them in a cage with a lion and tell them to hunt.

  • Shame that we are ruining our planet,killing off species and running them off their land. Humans have to be the most selfish of all creatures. I hate how they track and kill any mountain lion that attacks a human..even if the humans are in the cats territory. Sad. If I were attacked and killed by a wild animal while hiking or camping...I would not want the animal killed. They are only trying to survive in what little land and food we have left for them..not much. What beautiful animals!

  • i agree, but what really amazes me is how humans have the ability to reason and love everything yet alot choose to kill and hate...

  • I agree with you, it's a waste. But an animal that has killed or attacked a human before is more than likely to do so again. The ones that avoid humans live on to reproduce young with the same instincts. Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest at work.

  • thats Imprinting you are talking about

  • sad that the one died :<

  • thanks, seems like a great and interesting things to watch.

    i love wild cats, they are somehow mysterious.

  • Wonderful video.

  • how is it wonderful? its sad as hell..

  • It's wonderful that, we are being informed by NationGeographic about this problem.

  • Fuck you

  • i will ... fuck you
