How can I hunt cougar?

[woody]

I'm in the middle of taking my CORE training in order to get my hunting license and hunter number in BC. Can I hunt cougar with a .22 long rifle rimfire cartridge? I can't find this information, or even this kind of information, in the regs. Hunt and Hunting are defined by the persuit of wildlife with the intention to harvest, or simply persuing an animal for any reason while in possession of a firearm. I want to know if there are laws regarding the appropriate caliber of a weapon for the animal being hunted, or if it is left to ethical responsibility and common sense.

Im not trying to be a jerk but WTF y y y y y would you shot such an important and beautiful animal like that??? You know the reason mother earth is so angry with us is because HUMANS like yourself that keep F-ing with the circle of life and the important factors that keep the circle of life rotating. I think you should read up on which rodent or small animal is going to wildly rise in population and create a s h i t rolls down hill effect for other following variables is cougars were near extinction or even worse wiped out completely. Plz educate yourself on this matter.
