I know that it would take more then 1 coyote to take a horse but there saying it was possible a cougar.We,ve had sighting,s all summer mostly on the out skirts of the city of a couger. But really no evidence now there has been another sighting and possible attack but they say it could have been a coyote or a couger . I have seen coyote,s take a calf been born and the after math of other livestock attacks but I,am not to sure about what there saying on the news. You can check out the summer reports at www. ACHANNEL.CA under search put in cougar sightings . I think the city people see something brown in the feild (livestock) and think it,s a wild critter that should be saved.
