I don't think anyone here said there weren't any cougars in PA but I don't believe that the PAGC released them. I hear it all the time here, from the NCWC releasing coyotes, to cougars, to my personal favorite "dropping rattlesnakes from helicopters into state parks". I don't doubt that there are cougars here in NC, I've seen tracks that I could only identify as cougar but if you listen to how insane it sounds that they are released. Think about the amount of time and money you are talking about? It's not like you can run down to the local CougarMart and by a dozen of them.....
