A two-year-old male cougar that travelled all the way into downtown The Dalles and into a hotel complex was euthanized Tuesday morning after wildlife managers determined it was a public safety risk.  The animal was in a room under construction at the Oregon Motor Motel. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife personnel secured the cougar in a small room, accessed it through a vent in the wall, and sedated the animal with drugs administered via dart gun, and then transported the cougar off-site and euthanized it in a safe location.  A Facebook post seen by ODFW staff indicated the cougar had been spotted at the same location Sunday evening.  Cougar sightings are not uncommon in the outskirts of The Dalles, but ODFW district wildlife biologist Jeremy Thompson said a cougar coming into downtown and not showing fear of people or wariness of urban environments is extremely odd, noting it may have been unable to establish its own home range in its natural habitat.  Thompson added given this behavior, it was deemed a public safety risk not suitable for relocation.  According to ODFW’s current records, the incident marks the sixth time in 2018 that a cougar has been euthanized due to public safety concerns.
