WV DNR has long denied any wild cougars in the state, claiming escaped pets or misidentification. They're wrong.
Now for "the rest of the story." No idea if it's true. Patient lives in the boonies. Keeps a pet cougar, has 5 or 6 regular visitors including 1 "black panther." DNR confiscated his cat and brought charges. Judge said "There are no cougars in WV; therefore, you have not authority. Return the cat. Case dismissed".
Stay safe,
