Will be charged for killing the cat out of season or something something.
Can you imagine the level of shrieking, hissing, ululating and caterwauling from the Mountain Lion during this struggle?
Imagine the most distracting, and bizarre Bruce Lee sounds, just before he lunges at you with those helicopter nunchucks,
magnify that by eight.
Make a monument at the spot. He choked out a lion with his bare hands. That is manly stuff.
What’s wrong ...cat got your tongue?
Totally insane. But that’s what it sounds like to me, too...they think the jogger just should have lain down and let himself be ripped apart. Having an opposable thumb and a bigger brain makes it no fair to the kitty. Felinocide.
If you run, knowingly or not, by a predator, that predator’s instinct is that you must be prey. Only delicious, tasty treats run away. Scary creatures would be the ones that run toward a predator.
“Mountain lion attacks are not common in Colorado and it is unfortunate that the lion’s hunting instincts were triggered by the runner,” said Ty Petersburg, area wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “This could have had a very different outcome.”
Was his name, the runner, DAVID?
Pretty interesting. The technique that would have to be used would be fist down the inside of the mouth/throat to choke the animal, unless he had a knife or some other weapon. The claws on a mountain lion are sharp as hell and powered by powerful muscles. This is interesting— how did this jogger know this?
Yes. It isn't illegal to kill a human. But it probably is illegal for a human to kill a lion.
If that toxic masculinity had properly curled up into a fetal ball, that poor pussy cat would be alive today.
Had to be Chuck Norris.
After killing it he then resuscitated it and now they are the best of friends.
No big deal, as long as you can latch on to the animals windpipe, you stand a good chance of rendering it unconscious. I have used the technique successfully on large (Rottweilers) dogs.
PETA: “LOCK HIM UP”.
“we have confirmed the victim’s account that he was able to suffocate the animal while defending himself from attack,”
I can’t even handle a 10 pound house cat.
Damn-that guy has got a titanium set for sure-otherwise he would have been mountain lion chow...
You should never, ever run/jog or even bike in lion country-In this rural neighborhood and others, people have put up signs on the trails in the parks leading to the woods, near the river, cliffs, etc-they say things like caution-mountain lion area-stay alert-do not run or bike. their tracks are all over the place-if I see tracks on/by a trail, I back out singing/yelling and waving a stick-I avoid that trail for awhile, too-I wonder if the runner just didn’t know better than to run in mountain lion country or if he just was careless-creatures that run look like prey items...
the tone of the article is almost like they think the guy MURDERED the cougar.......
He’s lion. He grabbed him by the pussy...
Colorado has some really screwy ideas.
Ping to one bad ass about another bad ass.
