Back in May a cougar killed a mountain biker east of Seattle.

Ever since they banned using dogs to hunt cougars, the population has exploded and they don’t fear people like they used to.

People are now food.

In my trolling days (not on this site, obviously), I would DEMAND that the parents of these two ‘children’ be investigated by CPS, for allowing them to go outside unsupervised.

It’s my way of simply taking what the Left, and nannies, are doing - to the next level.

The only time I ever saw a cougar was when I was mountain biking in CA and all alone.

He was scoping out an area known for rabbits and I just rode by and saw him, then got off and snuck back to look at him.

He was enormous!

Usually. I know a guy that had a cat drop into a crouch and come at him. He dropped to a knee and blew it away. Fish and Wildlife said it was old and very hungry.. The shooter had seen it miss a chance at a dos he was watching, earlier.
