So according to “Study: Cougars terrified when humans draw near” (Page 1, July 17), the presence of people turns mountain lions into veritable fraidy-cats and causes bobcats, skunks and opossums to change their behavior to avoid detection? The same can be said of a certain bully in the White House whenever he is confronted directly by strong women in politics and elsewhere.
