>>838319You clearly have no idea how statistics work.
Cougars are not extremely dangerous.
More people have been killed drowning in molasses in the last 150 years than by cougars in North America (look it up).
Cougars avoid people, that's why you don't see them. They have no interest in people. Attacks are so rare they are nearly statistically insignificant.
Cougar sightings have absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever and you're belief of that shows a true misunderstanding of nature. Cougars are rarely sighted because they don't want to be seen, but trust me, Cougars see people all the time, you just don't see them.
You are still 1000 times more likely to die from lightning than a Cougar. 50 people a year die in the USA every year from lightning. Only 20 people in the last 150 years have been killed by cougars.
Cougars exist near people in California every day, all year, they are in close proximity to humans their entire system lives, and yet hardly any people have died from them.
Even living in the territory of a cougar, you are STILL more likely to die from lightning.
