said. pointing to his living
room window. and watch the
i .its h-aping from tree to tret
lining .1 cougar in Oregon is
especially difficult. Sebring
s.nd Hr rstimutrd that only
not) to non cougars arr left in
the wild in Oregon, although
other estimates run go from hun
dred it to thousands
The major threat to cougars
survival in the wild is game
hunters, manv of whom pav up
to ST),out) to hunt cougars, and
another SJi,000 to have their
kills shilled, Nebrlng said
Last year. -1(H) permits were
issued, and 240 cougars were
killed. Sobring said The ani
nulls killed averaged about 90
pounds and 2 years of age an
adolesi ent in cougar terms
Sehring spends two or three
hours ,i day with each of his
cougars
He takes the cats lor walks
lolling them swim in the nearby
river, which is a favorite activi
ty of lawni's "Cougars swim
better than any dog," Sobring
said
Hath cougar oats about five
pounds of raw moat a dav Al
though thev will oat fish, they
prefer sui h moat as hoiir, door,
mutton, beef, and occasionally
•. hit ken.
The moat costs BO i onts a
pound, which adds up to about
S 1000 lor moat per cat per year
In addition. Sobring said, build
ing the enclosures is expensive,
and there are veterinary hills
lor checkups and flea repel
lents
Money is a problem lor So
bring and his cougars, who ridv
almost completely on dona
tions Sobring hold a benefit .it
the farm earlier this year,
which provided much of the
money for the cougar cage The
wire mesh lor the cage was do
nated as well, which saved So
bring almost S19.000
I sold mv car two months
ago to buy poles for the cage,
and my motorcycle a month be
fore that.” he said, "It's amaz
ing how your values change I
mean, who needs a Porsche
when they can have a pan
ther?"
Sobring owns :i<) acres. and
ideally ho wouhi like to dcvoti
most ol il to an educational and
rescue facility for cougars. He
envisions a facility that can
sustain Use!!, rather than being
constantly in need ofrnonev
"I would like to devote m\
life to the preservation of cou
gars," Subring said "I'd like to
educate people, stop people
from having cougars as pets, or
shooting them in the wild Peo
ple need to know that cougars
aren't going to hurt them, and
that they're something to be
preserved
From the 15 or so houseeats
that have adopted Sebring. to
Tuwni and the other cougars,
he is surrounded by cats of ev
ery color and si/e, which lie in
the shade of a wire mesh cage,
swim in the river, and wall h
visitors curiously.
I worked hard to be here,
Sebring said I think this is tin
purpose in this life Besides, 1
like walking around and having
cats follow me
