26 attacks in 40 years.
(Oh. Verified attacks. Might be several more that were “disputed” by those counting mountain lion attacks. On humans. Animal and pets attacks would therefore be expected to be several times higher than 26, right?)
One attack on “a verified human” every two years. Illegal aliens attack more than that every year! (Maybe we should hold our backpacks over our heads against those attacks as well?
Most people are never in a wild enough spot where they’d encounter a mountain lion hungry enough to attack. So, duh. And there are unsolved missing persons cases among hikers, or as the m-lions sometimes might call them, “lunchables”.
