A cougar attends a recent University press conference where activists outlined plans to stop
hunters from killing the creatures.
Lawsuit combats cougar killings
By Tammy Batey
fmeratd Reporter
The beauty of the untamed cougar may be
threatened bv hunters, and some animal rights
activist groups say they are not going to stand for
it
Among these groups is the Northwest Cougar
Action Trust (Northwest CATS), is pressing its
point all the way to the courts.
Northwest CATS and other organizations have
tried to force the U S. Forest Service to drop its
support for commercial cougar hunting The
groups filed a lawsuit against the Forest Service
in Nov. 1989
Their most recent efforts have included a re
quest to the 9th U S. Circuit Court of Appeals for
an injunction banning this year's scheduled
hunts on several of Oregon's national forests.
At a University press conference, which Kuge
ne attorney David Atkin, representing the animal
rights groups, explained that legal efforts are in
tended to bring about a change.
"The long years of indifference and hatred to
ward cougars are coming to an end. Cougars can
not bo seen as merely trophy pieces. Without
these creatures. America itself is diminished."
Atkin said.
"Groups that have filed want to fort e the Forest
Service to look at the status of the cougar popula
tion before allowing cougar hunting in forests."
The Forest Service is required to survey the
cougar population, but have not, Atkin said
"We believe, when the actual figures are
brought to life, the Forest Service will reform
cougar hunting Right now they're using voodoo
DlOlOgy. I ne ruresi uocs nut miuw a^v
distribution of cougars or other information, but
they keep taking a guess," Atkin said.
The Forest Service presumes that because more
cougars are seen dead every year, tile number of
cougars has increased, Atkin said. But the in
crease is because cougars are being driven out of
their natural habitat.
Catherine Koehn. executive director of North
west CATS, hopes the lawsuit will press the gov
ernment to take action. The Forest Service re
fused to look at recent input. Koehn said.
"Slightly more than 450 kill tags were issued,
according to statistics. The average age of the
cougars killed was 2.7, which is a low age before
sexual maturity. (The hunters) are killing them
when they're unable to reproduce,” Koehn said.
"1 hope that our federal government is more
aware of this worldwide crisis."
Fart of the problem is no one can track how
many cougars are illegally killed by poachers,
said Mike Axline, University law school profes
sor.
"Hunters from California and other states come
and have their way on federal grounds in Ore
gon." Axline said.
The Forest Service has the unfortunate habit of
management under crisis. Axline said. However,
action must come before it is too lute.
"Commercial hunting may be the straw that
breaks the cougar's back. We’re out to stop that."
Axline said.
Hunters send their dogs out. using radio collars
to track them. The dogs tree cougars, where hunt
ers find and shoot the exhausted prey. Atkins
said.
