Home of the 225lb mountain lions...up to 240.

They could carry a 4yr old for 30 miles, and park it in a tree.

The family was near Victoria Overlook on Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park in Washington state.

...when the animal pounced.

Damn Republican lions!

Hurricane Ridge was the very first place I snow skied in 1974. No lions visible there in winter. My wife and I hiked there a few summers back. The Olympics are spectacular.

“The child is being treated at a hospital in Seattle, and their condition...”

the child...their condition?

Did pronoun antecedent agreement go out the window?

Why not just write, “The condition of the child, who is beinging treated in a hospital, is unknown...” if there is insufficient backbone in the writer.

A traumatic event for the child but the pronoun insanity remains above all.

If you want to stay away from Lions, just go to where the next Super Bowl is.

Park staff found and ‘dispatched the animal’, meaning they killed it, on Monday and stated that there was no threat to the public.


any animal the injures a human needs to be dispatched. Even you dog lovers should understand that.

The agency advises anyone who encounters a cougar to make themselves appear large and throw stones or branches, and never run past one or crouch down because those are behaviors of prey.

How is a child supposed to make themselves appear large?

This is the reason we killed them on sight.

I’ve seen many on game cameras in MN, but the MNDNR refuses to admit it.
They say there are none residing in MN. We all know better, but why would they deny it?

FTA: ... a child walking with their family....

:::::::

It’s not “their family,” you moron: it’s “his” or “her” family. The possessive pronoun “their” is plural, and this story is about a single child.

The #1 way to stop mountain lions from attacking is to stop using children as bait.... 🦁
