They are dangerous. I'm not sure anybody here has debated otherwise. I'm just pointing out that they are not anymore dangerous than a dog.
There are many things in this world that can kill you. To eliminate Mt. Loins because they are dangerous is just plain silly.
You better go back to animal biology school. You talk just like our states biologists. Deny everthing because it was not confirmed by one of you YO_YO's. Comparing a couger to a dog is a good one! This opinion falls in under the PITA puppies mentality.
May be you can show us some documentation that supports this retarded opinion! If you want to enlighten yourself - check out couger attacks on the internet. I know-I know , your reply will be , They are not confirmed ATTACKS.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR MOUNTAIN LIONS, and that is in a wilderness area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please take the time to read the entire thread before posting. It eliminates people from having to explain things twice.
If you go to page 4 of this thread I laid it all out for you. 22 confirmed humans killed by cougars in two countries in 119 years. I won't give you the numbers of the confirmed human kills by dogs. It off the charts and you guys know it, so you don't want to compare the two. I realize humans come in contact with dogs a little more often than cougars. Again, if you cayugad would read the entire thread first, country1 and I had already talked about this and thought it would be interesting if you could actually put together some statistics to show how many humans each cougar has encountered and how many humans each dog has encountered to come up with better numbers.
mr.mc54, I never said to bring cougars into the rual areas. I never said I was against hunting them. What my whole point is, you guys dislike cougars because of the mentality that has been bored in your heads since you were little. You guys are probably the same people who kill every snake you see because when you were 4 yrs old your great-grandpa told you snakes were bad.
