Cougar in Twisp

[AlaskaShooTer]

Cougar found taking up residence in a shed at a home on Burgar St. Up behind the motel and Quilting Hive. Took 4 officers and nearly a call to Governor Inslee's office to get the authorization to evict the kitty due to his no eviction edict. Eventually cat was sent packing up river. Who knows for how long. Use caution if you are out and about. Taking a walk, especially with kids and pets. Be safe

When I worked in Alaska we used a combination of 12 gauge rounds with rubber bullets, cracker rounds that exploded and large bottle rockets that exploded to discourage a horrible problem with urban black bears, 300 pounders and try and keep them out of residential areas. Sows would teach their cubs how to raid dumpsters, residential garbage cans and even take down garage doors if the garbage cans were inside and secured. Not sure if local LEO's have easy access to these resources.
