Cougar on the Prowl in Oregon City: Is It a Wildlife Crisis or Just Nature Doing Its Thing?

美洲狮现身俄勒冈城市区:是野生动物危机,还是自然本就如此?

这只美洲狮已在俄勒冈城市区多次被发现——它不只是在公园附近徘徊,而是像自己家一样在拉图雷特街上悠然漫步。本地监控拍到了它在后院闲逛的画面,而当局目前还没派出猎人来追捕。

居民被要求收好宠物食品,把猫和小狗关在屋里——说白了,别让大自然把你家后院当成无限量自助餐。但最离谱的是:官方表示不会主动搜寻这只美洲狮。所以我们得学会和它共存?好呀。好呀好呀好呀。

I love wildlife, but my tabby isn’t a cougar appetizer. If they won’t track it, at least tell us when and where it was last seen. ‘Be careful’ is not a plan.

我喜欢野生动物,但我家虎斑猫可不是美洲狮的开胃小菜。如果他们不追踪它,至少告诉我们它最后一次出现的时间和地点。光说‘小心点’可不算应急预案。

So let me get this straight: I should keep my dog leashed, my trash inside, my cat locked up, and my kids indoors after dusk… but the cougar gets full freedom? That’s not coexistence. That’s surrender.

让我捋一捋:我得给狗拴绳、垃圾收进屋、猫关起来、天黑后孩子不准出门……但那只美洲狮却可以完全自由?这不叫共存,这叫投降。

People act like this is an invasion, but cougars have been here longer than your HOA. They’re not breaking in — we built the neighborhood into their territory. The real issue is habitat fragmentation, not one cat taking a walk.

人们好像觉得这是入侵,但美洲狮在这儿可比你们的业主委员会早多了。不是它们擅闯——是我们把住宅区建进了它们的地盘。真正的问题是栖息地碎片化,而不是一只猫出来溜达。

Okay, Biologist, we get it. But my 7-year-old doesn’t care about ‘territory.’ She’s scared to go to the park. Can we talk about solutions that protect both sides?

好了,博士,我们明白。但我7岁的女儿可不在乎什么‘领地’。她现在不敢去公园了。我们能不能谈谈能保护双方的解决方案?

Remember when wolves returned to Oregon? People freaked out. Now we have wolf-watching tours. Give it 10 years — Oregon City will be selling ‘I Survived the Cougar Walk’ T-shirts.

还记得狼群回到俄勒冈时吗?人们都吓坏了。现在我们却有了观狼旅游团。再过十年,俄勒冈城就会卖‘我挺过了美洲狮散步日’的T恤了。

I installed motion lights and a 7-foot fence. I’m not scared — I’m ready. Nature’s beautiful until it’s eating your Chihuahua.

我装了感应灯和七英尺高的围栏。我不怕——我准备好了。大自然很美,直到它开始吃你的吉娃娃。

FYI, we’re drafting a public alert system with real-time sighting updates. It’s in review. Also, we don’t have the budget to relocate every curious cougar.

提示一下,我们正在起草一个实时更新目击信息的公众预警系统,目前在审核中。另外,我们可没预算去转移每只好奇的美洲狮。

Cynical Hiker from Multnomah (愤世嫉俗的马尔特诺马徒步客)
Of course they won’t relocate it. Last time they tried, the cougar wandered back in three days. Wildlife doesn’t read city limits.

他们当然不会转移它。上次尝试时,那只美洲狮三天就溜回来了。野生动物可不看城市边界线。
