People who anti-cougar simply don’t know what they are talking about. Do research. Deer ticks are a 100x more likely to kill you. Deer through the windshield are 1,000x more likely to kill you. Kids will die because of your irrational fear of cats.
If you are suggesting we raise the cougar population to the point that they keep deer levels down then we would be in for a LOT more cat attacks. Better to just raise the bag limit on deer.
