The last cougar fatality in Oregon was 5 years ago (and wasn’t a wild cougar, but one in a exotic-animal facility).

In the last 5 years, almost 2000 humans have died in automobile accidents in Oregon.

Interestingly, I’m hearing few proposals to allow open seasons on automobile drivers (with packs of dogs!) to deal with this much larger problem.

I’d be happy to help write one! :-) I already have a pretty good idea how I’d profile “fair game.”
