An Alberta man says he fought off a cougar that was attacking his dog by punching the big cat in the head.
William Gibb says he stopped at a Tim Hortons in Whitecourt, northwest of Edmonton, on Boxing Day.
He let his two dogs out for a bathroom break near a wooded area, then heard one of them crying in pain.
Gibb says he ran to see what was wrong and found the cougar on top of his husky, Sasha, so he bashed it with his fist.
The cougar jumped off and Gibb took the dog to a veterinarian, who stitched up her cuts and puncture wounds.
RCMP say they found the cougar in the trees near the restaurant and, because it was ready to pounce on officers, they shot and killed the animal.
Here in L.A, the cougars’ eat you until you’re exhausted.
At my age, any cougar I may meet is in a nursing home.........
Madonna likes to think of herself as a “Cougar”.
I don’t see her attacking anybody’s dog though.
At least not that kind of dog.
It doesnt get more Canadian then this.....
He’ll get in so much trouble for punching an innocent kittie.
The key was not acting like prey.
Just like the guy in Australia punching out the Kangaroo!.
That’s why I wear cougar repellant (my wardrobe).
I had to show this article to my lovely Grande Prairie wife. This is the most Canadian article I have ever read. Tim Horton’s,the RCMP, Albertan cougar.
Actually if it had been one of those big-a$$ moose I saw standing alongside of the Trans Canada Highway a few years ago *that* might have made it a *bit* more Canadian.
This is what Trump meant, his comment was taken way out of context.
I met a guy in Guadaloupe a few years ago who was an Alberta oil man.He went on to explain to me that Alberta is Canada's Texas...and not just when it comes to oil.Funny guy.
What was the other dog doing while his buddy was being attacked??Must have been house dogs.
Madonna is a dog, not a cougar!
“Why is it that the closer you get to Canada, the more’s the things that eat horses?”
The Missouri Breaks movie
All it’s missing is a moose, and a beaver.
Or this story from 10 years ago, of kanawa, a Canadian Freeper, killing a bear with a knife.
