They have some amazing footage and I think Planet Earth has also done some slow mo videos that are incredible.

I mentioned most of the things you highlight in my animal attack series this week. Human stupidity is something I'll never understand. Many of my neighbors complain but won't take steps to alleviate the situation...like waiting to put their trash out the morning of pick-up instead of the night before. Dagny, thanks for stopping in.

While pet owners may be heartbroken, they need to understand the mountain lions and bears were here long before we were and we need to take precautions not to tempt them with garbage or pets out alone early in the morning or late in the evening. Especially with fall upon us, bears will be storing up fat for the long winter, so will be looking wherever they can. Don't feed the foxes or the squirrels. Let them forage for themselves. In the long run we'll probably have a lot less aggressive encounters. Dagny I think the reason there’s an increase in cougar and bear attacks is because humans are encroaching on their territory.
