Читать книгу Raising Goats For Dummies - Cheryl K. Smith - Страница 105

Cougars hunt individually. They leave tooth punctures and claw marks on the upper torso when they attack a goat. They also have been known to drag their prey a distance away, bury it, and come back later to eat. A good livestock guardian dog will normally deter a cougar, unless it is very hungry. Nevertheless, I know of a rancher whose three Great Pyrenees guardian dogs were killed by a cougar one by one over several nights.

If you live in an area with cougars, get more than one livestock guardian dog to protect your goats.
