"Spencer Weilermann, a 23-year-old who was hiking by himself on the Rockbound Lake trail on Feb. 12, reported he had been attacked by a cougar and gave a series of interviews to various media outlets."
It sounds like this young man may need help, behavior like this can end in harm to the individual or others. Props to Parks Canada for doing the research and contributing to our understanding of cougars.
Oh look another attention seeking idiot.
The cat didn't do it!
I imagine a lot of people had a pretty strong feeling that dude didn't fight off a cougar the first time they heard his story.

I’m guessing maybe clothing he was wearing he claimed came into contact with the supposed cougar maybe
Probs just another Aussie on coke. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oye, Oye, Oye!
Nope just a born and raised Calgarian weirdo, he pulled some weird shit when his 18 month old died, he wasnt in the kids life, did not contribute to his funeral but was quick to reach out to the media for comment. Google him its bonkers but he seems the type.
Probably employed by Pursuit then. They hire all the serial nutsos.

Spun out after coke is more like it.
Trying to get famous for his yoo-toobe channel.
“The truth is that cougar attacks are extremely rare; you’re more likely to be killed by having a vending machine fall on you than from a cougar attack,” said Marriott.
