A group of five cyclists were riding on a trail in Fall City, Wash., when they were attacked by at least one cougar this past weekend.

    And what would you have done? Release an apex predator back into the wild? One who has shown no compunction as to attacking humans?

    Perhaps we should cordon off 30-125mi^2 (typical range) for an indeterminate time?

      Sounds good to me. Maybe humans should stop riding their bikes through its territory. Would you ride your bike where you knew grizzly bears roamed around? I hope not.

      Literally, unironically, and enthusiastically YES.
