Wow. It's mind boggling, to think that someone might have lifted him over a barrier. When it comes to dangerous animals, though, there are many delusional people out there.

I live in the middle of large mountain lion and bear populations and do pay attention to their real natures. In old terms for example, a mountain lion has the spirit of a mountain lion--a beast--not that of a human being. It is what it is. I don't bother them and don't allow them to bother me. And they won't approach a child or other human being too closely while in my presence.

We have had more than a few Mountain Lion attacks on mountain bikers in the wilderness parks in Orange County, CA. Adults jumped by the cats and sometimes killed.
