Two friends riding their bikes in a mountainous, wooded area of Washington State on Saturday morning were attacked by a cougar, which killed one of them in the state’s first such fatality in more than 90 years, officials said.
The authorities said the two cyclists saw the cougar, a 100-pound male, in pursuit and one of them screamed. They stopped, got off their bikes and made noise to ward it off as people in such situations are advised to do, the authorities said.
At first, it appeared to work. The cougar fled.
But as they were about to pedal away, the cougar returned, Sgt. Ryan Abbott of the King County Sheriff’s Office said. It jumped on Isaac M. Sederbaum, putting its mouth around his head and shaking him. It released him and chased after the other cyclist, who had started to run. The authorities identified that cyclist as Sonja J. Brooks.
As Sederbaum, who had been bloodied but survived, rode away from the scene, he could see the cougar dragging Brooks into the woods

I remember when this happened.
Brings to real life the old joke about two hikers who encounter a bear, and as one hiker puts on his running shoes the other hiker says to him, "you can't out run a bear," to which the one hiker responds, "I don't have to out run the bear; I just have to out run you."
Literally what happened. The cat's going pick one of you and that's your window.
I have a relative who is a timber cruiser; spends a lot of time in the woods alone. He takes a dog precisely so he can get a warning. He's been stalked by a cougar; those fucking things are no joke. -
Two defenseless women in the woods. Sad tale.WestlinnDuck said:Inslee tried to keep them safe but they wouldn't listen. Can't imagine having your girl friend offed by a mountain lion on a bike ride.

With all the low hanging Inslee fruit you choose to mistakenly grab a story from two years ago that has nothing to do with covid.
You must be kinda dumb. -

Let's not be so hasty in our judgment of cougars in their natural habitat.

We used to have a big tom cat that would fuck you up if you came within about 2 feet of it. It was a big fucker - weighed about 20 pounds. I always steered clear of that bastard.
Just imagine what a cat weighing 150+ would do to you.
