While we desire to meet good news about animals, we are deeply saddened to encounter worse every time. While the population of humanity increases, the population of other living things decreases or even extinct inversely. We can say that the reason for this situation is that humanity always wants more. We wonder what happens when one day there is nothing left to want. We will talk a little about the Eastern Cougar generation, which has been reported to be extinct.

The majestic big cats were traditionally seen in every U.S. state east of the Mississippi River.
With the latest devastating news from the animal kingdom, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed the Eastern Cougar strain from its list of the latest endangered species it published.

The danger with the Eastern Pumas has persisted for a century, and by 1900 they all disappeared due to systematic hunting and traps.
Mark Elbroch, lead scientist of the cougar program at the big cats conservation group Panthera, said the cats were long extinct.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service launched a comprehensive investigation into the state of Eastern Puma in 2011
Forest and coastal swamp hunters were declared endangered in 1973, even if no wildcat sightings had been documented for thirty years.
The last of its species on record was killed by a hunter in Maine in 1938.
In 2015, federal wildlife biologists concluded that cougars found elsewhere in the Eastern United States could not be recovered.
For this reason, it was decided that they would not be protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Cats are the genetic cousin of mountain lions still living in most of the Western United States and are associated with a small, intact Florida Panther population found only in the Everglades.
