Scientists tracking cougar’s eastward migration

The cougar is a deer hunter and it seeks the simple things. 150 years ago, people tended to eliminate the cougar from the eastern half of the USA. But, 18months ago confirmed populations of the cougar were 21. People have become interested in the cougar right now. In the article, Nielsen is anxious about the fact that the cougar population is increased but its habitat is declined. But, Nielsen said that the cougar is less dangerous than other human activity. The cougar is naturally increasing and scientists want to co-exist with it.
I think that the cougar is a very important animal because it can control the population of deer. In Carbondale, there are too many deer. So people think of solutions to this problem. For example, sometimes we should kill some deer. Or the government could loosen hunting regulations. And there is a way of infertilizing. Then the latter is the most ideal way among these but it is too expensive. And the looser hunting regulations and killing some are so artificial that these may have a harmful effect. But, using the predators is more natural than other ways. The cougar, one of the predators, will help to control the population of deer. Therefore, we should throw away wrong cognition that the cougar is a bad animal to humans. To control population of deer I believe that we should consider using the cougar.
