* In California, from 1986 through 1998, exactly two people died from mountain lion attacks, whereas in one year alone, over 4,000 people died in traffic accidents, including 800 pedestrians. This means that your car or someone else's car is ~2,000 times more likely to kill you than is a mountain lion. (A Detailed Calculation gives the ratio as between 1,150 and 4,300.)
Don't take it as a personal attack, but what you're suggesting here is based on a totally flawed premise.
i don't take it personal, i took it from this
source, more specifically the sources of the data
statistics, as well as the mountain lion foundation
here.or how about this: The Hunter Incident Clearinghouse reported that in just the year 2002 alone, hunting accidents in the United States
killed 89 people and injured 761. and yet,
since 1890 only
21 people have been killed by mountain lions on the entire North American Continent.
hunters are typically found in cougar territory, yet they kill more people than cougars do.
