COUGAR NOT CONFIRMED AS HAVING KILLED DIANA. NO COUGAR DNA FOUND ON HER AND HER DNA IS NOT ON A COUGAR. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE POSTING ABSOLUTES.
This report from ODFW is an example of normative (stealth policy
making) science, which is a fabrication of truth to perpetuate a biased
goal. Regardless that no evidence of Diana was found in the retractable
claws or intestines of this cougar, ODFW wants Diana to have died from a
cougar, and so they will say anything. No evidence of a cougar was
found on Diana. Evidence does not dissipate quickly. It can linger for
years as a testament to a tragedy, and this issue is no different.
It is more probable that a bear attacked Diana. Bears will maul you
(especially women on their periods) and leave you to die. Cougars don't
do this to their prey. Diana died from her wounds, not from the animal
that attacked her.
If I were Diana's family, I would have an
attorney sue ODFW for a cougar management plan that has been
peer-reviewed confirmed to cause more conflict with cougars, than not.
Only then would ODFW tell you the truth of what attacked Diana.
