I look at it this way... if one or two people say they saw them, it might, maybe, be a rare animal in a secluded place. However, so many people claim to have sighted them, yet no one ever has shot one, stuffed one, gotten fur samples from one, hit one with a car, found one in the back room of a museum, photographed one, caught one on a trail camera, traded furs with the first peoples (Native Americans), etc., and the fact that no one can find a gene in the normal colored ones that would cause a melanistic (black) cougar. That's good enough for me to conclude that they probably do not exist. Or, they're hanging out with that bigfoot critter.
