DON'T CHEAT. READ THIS STORY FIRST! :-)
A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she, fortunately, with her camera. Their dogs always followed them. But on this outing, a Montana mountain lion decided that she wanted to stalk the dogs. You can see the dogs in the background watching the whole thing.
The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could aim and get off a round, the cat charged the dogs. The mule, completely devoid of tolerance, charged the cat, inhibited the hunter's aim and the rest is amazing.
Just as the mountain lion approaced the dogs, the mule reached the cat, snatched her up by the tail and started whrling her around like a bull dog with a rag doll, repeatedly, banging the cat's head on the ground. Then he droped the feline and began biting her all over, inflicting multiple, mortal wounds. After that, he picked up the mountain lion, just like a mother cat would her kitten and the predator curled into submission. Realizing his victory, the ass (old English term) firmly planted his foot on the animal's neck and watched to see if she would move. Then, just like Samson did after he slew the lion on the way with his parents to Timnath, he ambled back over to his parents, in this case, owners and waited to continue the journey as if nothing had happened.
The Mrs. was able to get the following four shots with her, probably cell phone, camera. | | |
