BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS. Weeks before a female hiker was BRUTALLY MAULED TO DEATH on a Colorado trail, a man fought for his life against a mountain lion in the EXACT SAME LOCATION—and officials IGNORED HIS WARNING, allowing a predator to roam free and claim an innocent life.
Gary Messina’s HORRIFYING near-death encounter in November was a GRUESOME PREVIEW of the New Year’s Day killing. “It was trying to maul me,” Messina recounted, describing a desperate battle where he smashed a stick over the big cat’s head to escape. He reported the attack. Authorities posted weak signs, then REMOVED THEM. The system FAILED.
Now, a woman is dead, her body discovered with wounds so consistent with a mountain lion attack that wildlife officers have executed two of the beasts and are hunting a third. This is Colorado’s FIRST FATAL ATTACK in over 25 years, and it was PREVENTABLE. This isn’t just tragic—it’s a SCANDAL of bureaucratic negligence.
Experts blandly claim “interactions can increase” as humans encroach on habitat. This is a LETHAL LIE. These are not mere “interactions”; this is a WILD KILLER STALKING PUBLIC TRAILS. The “warning” signs are a JOKE. The so-called protocols are a DEATH SENTENCE for any solo hiker.
The terrifying truth officials DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW: Our wilderness is no longer safe. The predators are growing bolder, and the authorities tasked with protecting us are ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. How many more must die before this outright DERELICTION OF DUTY is called what it is—MANSLAUGHTER? The wild is now a hunting ground, and you could be the next prey.
