Lion attack in North bend?

[7mmfan]

Didn't realize there were so many guys that needed to waste time talking about the gender, or identified gender of someone that got eaten by a cougar. They were a person, they're dead now. Move along.

It's been pretty tame on here so far.. Post a picture of a 15 year old girl harvesting her first deer on Facebook and the "leftist" comments would be far worse, including calling for her death.

You reap what you sow.

I think it's relevant in that had there been an alpha present (regardless of gender or sexual nature) this would have had a different outcome.

Truth is these two people took turns abandoning one another in a me first attitude, the cat had its pick that day.  As far as their sexual perversion goes I care nothing about that, only that they lacked the attitude and skills to survive in the woods.  I'm sick of the media saying the cat was "very unusual" or "acted strangely" they're essentially telling the world that all the other cats out there would NEVER do this! 

Ya, BS

It's just an ordinary cat that came by unordinary people.

In other news an alpha woman fights off a grizzly bear in Montana and hikes out alone with a fractured skull.
Congrats to this young lady!!!!!!!!!

Ya, I got the Montana update pretty hardcore.

Hey,  I was not using person #1 and person #2 to be politically correct. Far from it. It was just to clarify each persons actions during the event. I did not know their names. I was thinking AAR (After Action Review) format: what went right, what went wrong, and what could be done better next time.

If it was a criminal investigation I would have used Subject #1 (name, if known) and Subject #2 (name, if known). Just the way I was raised, just the facts.

Indeed!   And where I would normally say one of them should have grown a pair, it becomes oddly ironic.

and the whole, they did everything right.....um no  maybe in whatever alternate universe or collective these liberal minds are gathered.

 Here comes the banning of bikes, or would that be cougars. Not sure which ones at fault. Sorry too soon

[Alchase]

What I don't get is how when one is getting attacked, the other runs away triggering the cat to attack that one. Then the first guy leaves his buddy to be killed?

Two grown "men" with bikes, should have been able to fend off that cat.

[2MANY]

Comment removed here as it may offend a bicycle.

Bottom line...................................
This cats daddy should have been trailed by hounds, ran up a tree, and killed years ago but the previous generation of liberal thinking outlawed that behavior.

It makes perfect sense the same clan would blame the cat's way of thinking for this tragedy.

Article with information on the 911 calls.

The only three cougars I've ever seen were on this road, within a mile of where this happened. Not particularly relevant to the story, but neither are most of the last 19 pages!

A person is dead. It is natural to inquire as to the causes and specifics, and even speculate as to potential preventative measures, especially for an event in which people have particular useful experiences and interests. 

There are many facets to this story, not the least of which is the political motivations that may have contributed to this cat being in a situation in which it was emboldened to attack. 

At best, most of what people are calling bigoted or insensitive is merely in poor taste or poor timing given the recency of the tragedy.  But that could be said regardless of whether the person was a male, female, other or identified the same or as another animal, vegetable, or mineral.  You get no special dispensation for being a special snowflake over any other animal attack victim. 

I find it curious that supposed news organizations are trusted to deliver details, but they hide the ball about some of the most pertinent facts of the tragedy.   


There are bigoted and hateful comments out there on the internet directed to this person's peculiar proclivities.  I have not seen it here.
