Here is a really good link about Mt.Lions.
It has links to stories about attacks, but I know for sure that it isn’t
complete because there were 2 or 3 attacks in the Issaquah Alps area when I
lived there from 1999 – 2005. In addition, there was one horse rider
taken off her horse and severely injured in the FallCity
area somewhere around 1995.
Anyway, it’s interesting reading and should prove that
we don’t really know much about Cougars and their habits. To say they
never attack for sport would be silly in my opinion. I can’t imagine
they’re much different than any other cat in that respect.
