There’s a rural AB myth that fish and wildlife have released cougars into rural areas…which they haven’t ever done (problem cougars get shot, not relocated).
But the fear these silly bumpkins falsely carry is real for the wildlife getting wiped out by feral and roaming cats.
TNR doesn’t work, feeding stations don’t work…pretending they work is part of the problem (or maybe it’s the Toxo parasite speaking).
