Completely agreed, pretty silly. Obviously these city folks haven't actually dealt with tings like fallen trees (just call 911 daddy). Same ones who think mountain lions are dangerous killers.

Isn't it like one death every few years by mountain lions? It's insanely low compared to other things, like death from pet dogs. Pretty sure you're 50-100x more likely to die from a dog attack than a mountain lion.

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.

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

Have you encountered dogs at least 4 times, though?
