A necropsy should be performed on that cougar to find out if it was wasting-away from any diseases it obtained from feeding on invasive-species vermin cat-meat. Giving further reason to destroy every last one of their house-cats in the state and nationwide.

I know this 1st-hand. I fed some wildlife and their offspring they had while under my care with one of the hundreds of shot-dead cats on my lands. Those animals then promptly died from some disease in that cat-meat. Cats truly are complete and total wastes-of-flesh. They can't even be used to feed wildlife safely. Letting cats roam free is absolutely NO different than throwing DDT on everyone's property. It's now time to put the cap back on every bottle of man-made environmental-poison labeled "CAT" and dispose of all of them too as safe as possible. Then make the production, ownership, and use-of any cat into a punishable fine, just like DDT was responsibly dealt with to end that similarly man-made environmental disaster.
