A Southern California woman punched a mountain lion Thursday and tried to pry its jaws open to save her dog from an attack in her backyard, officials said.

The unidentified woman suffered a minor cut after the mountain lion attacked her miniature Schnauzer in the city of Simi Valley near Los Angeles, police Sgt. Keith Eisenhour told KNBC-TV.

Ok. I’ll play along, you got your dog free and your lounging in your back yard with the middle finger of one hand up a mountain lion’s bunghole. What? Pray tell me is next? If you’ve done this post pictures. Oh and does this work on grizzlies?

We only have little black pooh bears back home. Haven't tried it on one of them, but God, do they stink. You think dog and cat turds have an aroma? We have a saying: you don't even need to know that bears exist as a species, but the first time you smell a bear muffin, the first words out of your mouth will instinctively be, "Oh, my God, that smells like bear shit!!!" LMAO 🤣 Further, we only have bobcats. Boot to ass usually sends them back down the mountain, no prostate exam required.

I didn't say it works 100% of the time, but we hillbillies make up in bravery what we lack in common sense. 😁

“If you decide not to do the smart thing and don’t have a firearm the next smartest thing to do is take a flay knife (which every kitchen knife set has but few people ever use, so it is most likely still sharp) and cut the tendons behind the lion’s jaw to release the dog.”

Yes, that would be real smart.

Well it’s just Idaho asking. We got a few varmits. Bear crap smells and the grizzly leaves a bit bigger stool. If you smell oily cow like smell, it’s elk. If you smell sour dead animals it’s probably bears. If it’s rolling over logs and wuffing your too close. If it stands up and is tall as you, shoot the one with you in the foot and run. Get help and go back. The big pile of bear crap with the watch is your friend. Scoop it up and take it to his next of kin. Singing “guess who died in the woods today. Doo Daa” is up to you. :)

If it’s a brown muffin, keep an eye open. If it looks like it’s covered in cracked black leather, it’s a day old. If it looks like a squashed dress shoe and even the flies won’t touch it, that bear is long gone.

TY, sir. Hillbilly Logic. Maybe not the most prudent, but time-tested. The proof of the pudding is in the number of limbs missing. LOL!

Well, as sort of a corollary, we have another saying back home: you’d have better luck trying to sandpaper a wildcat’s ass than mess with me and mine. In this particular instance, that goes for the cat, too.

Smarter than punching a mountain lion.

But how many women have been killed since they’ve become protected?

According to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_cougar_attacks_in_North_America

two women and one man have been killed by mountain lions in California since 1990, when California mountain lions were protected.

Simi Valley about 15 years ago polled the most conservative city in the country. There has been a lot that has left I’m sure
