Cougars in populated areas pose a threat to livestock, people and pets. They need to be moved elsewhere.

THERE IS NO NEED TO KILL DEFENSELESS ANIMALS, THAT IS JUST WRONG!! RELOCATE THEM!!

Donna Reed

Yes, sadly.

Ka San

Yes, trap and move them. I agree that we have encroached on their territory, but it doesn't change the fact that they are predators and peoples' animals and livestock are at risk.

Cynthia Wolfe

I am conflicted, we humans have taken their natural paths away and then we are shocked and want the animals to pay for our way of life. The cougars are an issue but the biggest issue is US.

Lynn Huntley

Trap and move them. It is not the animals' fault people have infringed on their habitats.

Facetious_Fetus

We found our govt with the expectation that they will protect and serve us. They need to follow through on this obligation.

Human interactions with cougars are very rare, and trapping-relocation rarely goes well.

Open hunting with dogs again educating wild cats and bears to stay in the backcountry

Kevin Mace

ODFW needs to control the population of Cougars with MORE paid hunters with dogs, Like the old days. Then maybe there will be a Deer or Elk for me to eat!!!

Beverly Beall-Shockcor

Maybe we should quit taking away such a large portion of their habitats by building neighborhoods within the forest.

Sam Ackerman

They help keep stray animals under control. Including the ones that should be on a leash.

Neta Marlin

If we are going to live here, in their home, we need to learn to live WITH them, in harmony,not just kill them for hunting,.I'm sorry those people lost their animals, circle of life~ not the suburbs

Ka San

They didn't suggest killing them, just moving them.

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

Greg Moore

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

Nik Myles

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Steven Huillet

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

David Tucker

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Greg Moore

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

Rob Mozz

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Sussie Due

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

Robert Northrup

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
