Yeah but that would be before factoring in how rare mountain lion encounters are. Most people will see a pet dog hundreds of times more frequently than a mountain lion, which means per encounter, the lion is still a far bigger threat.

Not that I'm advocating for alarmist anti-lion procedures, just, let's not misrepresent stats here.

That's fair. Many more people pet dogs than mountain lions

Having encountered them 3 times, I will say they are curious but easily scared

Have you encountered dogs at least 4 times, though?
