For all Oregonians a mere 1/4million-ish but for her it turned out to be 1.0. Being on the wrong side of a statistic sucks. BTW, the CNN report is fake news and another attempt by MSM to hide the cougar problem in failing Oregon. The place is infested. I found three under my bed this morning. Cameron Park is cougar-free by comparison. And in fact, we have meth-using cougars -- look at this before and after picture from a local, homeless meth-addled cougar: https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...3.42.58+PM.png SAD! -- Jay Beattie. |
