Cougar attack reported on the Weber River
OGDEN (July 18, 2003) — Two cougar incidents on July 16 in northern Utah have prompted wildlife officials to ask recreationists and those who live near wildlife to be alert for possible encounters.
On Wednesday morning, Division of Wildlife Resources officers in Cache Valley were informed that a cougar was in a tree near a residential area. The animal was tranquilized and relocated.
That same afternoon, an angler reported being attacked by a cougar while he was fishing on the Weber River near the town of Peoa, 40 miles east of Salt Lake. The angler suffered minor injuries that did not require treatment. Officers were still looking for the cougar on Friday morning. Because of public safety concerns, the cougar will be destroyed if it's found.

Kimberly Houk reporting
"It was the most beloved pet of the whole street. Everybody loved that animal and it probably didn't give much of a fight. "
A mountain lion attacked and killed a dog early this morning in the backyard of a home in Holladay.
The mountain lion came down out of the mountains just after 2 o'clock this morning. Officials say it was probably looking for food.
This afternoon the division of wildlife resources found the cougar about a fourth of a mile from where it attacked the dog.
Blood hounds traced the cougar to a Holladay home at about 1 this afternoon. They found it hiding in the tree.
