Probably it’d be better to say they don’t “usually”
attack for sport. We had a rogue mt. lion in our neighborhood a few years ago that
killed 4 goats one afternoon. When the tracker found the den, there was a sheep
there also, which was only one of two that were missing in the previous days. It
was theorized that the goats were a fun kill since it had plenty of food
stashed away.

Anyway, it’s interesting reading and should prove that
we don’t really know much about Cougars and their habits. To say
they never attack for sport would be silly in my opinion. I
can’t imagine they’re much different than any other cat in that
respect.
