BILLINGS, Mont. — Wildlife officials are trying to determine why a mountain lion attacked a Colorado man who says he used a chain saw to fight off the animal during a camping trip with his wife and two toddlers in northwestern Wyoming.

Oh, please! I am sick of the politically correct idea that mountain lions, wolves, etc., should be protected because their nature is NOT to attack people. In some places, the DNR has planted wolves and made it illegal to shoot them because they are “not a threat to people.” Interestingly enough, when one wondered into the Chicago area they killed it. Evidently wolves are a threat to city people but those in rural areas should have no problem with wolves running around THEIR back yard because they are no threat to rural folks. If you shoot a wolf, they will prosecute you harder than if you shot another human being.

Uh, because it’s a predator? They’re not fluffy bunny cartoon characters, those mountain lions.

[R. Scott]

Maybe the cat was hungry?

I know chainsaws, they are an awesome weapon. I mean literally Awesome.

Poor little starving kitty. Hmmm. Why didn’t dad go for his sidearm during the staring contest? The morals of the story are: never bring a chainsaw to a gunfight...and s.s.s.

The goo-goo protection of dangerous predators like mountain lions will continue until a wolf or mountain lion devours the child of some politician; then all hell will break out.

The article refers to the EX Marine.......as we all know he is a Former Marine. The cougar can be the EX Cougar!

Wildlife officials are trying to determine why a mountain lion attacked a Colorado man

Why?

Will it make a difference?

Are they attempting to design a class for errant cougars?

How will they determine the why?

Does the word WILD have meaning anymore?

I want to go on but as in this case, what would be the point, because the point has already been OBE.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Authorities say it was in poor physical condition and appeared to be starving.

And they're scratching their head as to why it attacked the guy?

“...trying to determine why a mountain lion attacked a Colorado man...”

Hey, “wildlife officials” there is nothing to determine.

Mountain lions/cougars are PREDATORS.

They see humans ALL HUMANS — even their own personal security force (wildlife officials) — AS PREY.

It the cat went after the man while he was actually using the chainsaw then I would wonder if the noise didn't really hurt the animals ears. Goodness knows chainsaws and leaf blowers hurt my ears and I can see how a wild animal could attack one.

NH law says it’s legal to kill any predator on your property if you have lifestock, which we do.

Revolver loaded with shotshells suffices for most chicken-stealing varmints. Shotguns with buckshot for bigger critters. Sidearms are better when you’re doing work around the farm, but the shotgun shouldn’t be too far away.

...”ex-Marine”?! No such thing. The arugula eating, cross dressing pansie that wrote this should spend less time getting his nails done and more time learning more about why he’s not speaking german or japanese right now.

[FastCoyote]

That’s just sick. Really sick :)

"Man uses chain saw in Wyo. mountain lion attack"

Why would a man use a chainsaw to attack a mountain lion? Wouldn't it just be easier to shoot the animal from a distance?

[G Larry]

Ever tried to conceal carry a Stihl?

[KarlInOhio]

Forget the chainsaw. Use the boomstick instead.

Cougars?

Wow, that’s some heavy equipment to take camping. A chainsaw?

Mindless stupid liberal women and liberals in general think that they are so cute and fluffy " ....
Liberalism is going to destroy us.... God Help Us !!!

Not if the only thing you had to protect yourself and your family with was only the chainsaw ....

[Grut]

I know chainsaws, they are an awesome weapon. I mean literally Awesome.

Right. You give the assailant your chainsaw and tell him "Here, use this." After he's exhausted himself trying to start it, you have your wife beat up on him.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

A well maintained Cougar is just as good as a newer model .. : ) .....

[wita]

I hadn’t contemplated that angle but...

The first new car I ever had was a 1967 Cougar. It was the worst car I ever owned and I traded it before I was finished payig for it. I didn’t buy another Ford product for 33 years until 2000 when I bought a 2000 Lincoln Navigator. I now have an ‘04 Navigagtor and hope to buy a 2010 Navigator next year.
