Someone ought to tell them that they’re not supposed to do that.

Renew your gym memberships folks.

Meat is a precious resource, and Mother Nature* abhors seeing it go to waste.

/*(I’m using Mother Nature symbolically here, not as a ‘Deity’, lest some of the more religious folks feel like jumping down my throat. :P )

[trisham]

I’m impressed that the runner was able to defend himself.

I once heard of a man who was into bestiality and raped a pit bull. I think it was a true story. It takes guts to do that.

But strangling a mountain lion with your bare hands is far less perverse and possibly more impressive.

[Revel]

PETA will come after him.

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

PETA is greatly offended.

The guy should have let the mountain lion eat him....

p.s. What a survival story!

[GnuThere]

Sounds like this guy would have quickly been a skeleton if he lost this battle.

The man was bitten on his face and wrist before he managed to pick up a rock and slam the animal on the head. He jumped on the animal’s back and choked it to death with his hands, arms and feet,

I would love to know what training this guy had. Was this a high school wrestler? Someone with lots of judo? Military? Just someone with a will to live? Choking a lion to death strikes me as pretty manly.

...the man apparently did everything wildlife officials recommend when encountering a wild animal of this kind, such as putting his hands in the air, making noise and standing his ground...

The "wildlife officials" missed the most important recommendation of all -- pull out your handgun and shoot the animal before it attacks.

I once looked in the rear view mirror and saw I was being followed by an ATV with an enormous cat draped over it. I stopped, and the government trapper had taken it in grazing country, He estimated its’ weight at 150 pounds...before the buzzards had pulled its’ intestines out through the rectum.

I am sure the man’s name was David, as in king David, who slew I lion and a bear.

“The man was bitten on his face and wrist before he managed to pick up a rock and slam the animal on the head. He jumped on the animal’s back and choked it to death with his hands, arms and feet...”

In the book of people never to screw with... he’s got his own chapter.

[null and void]

“The victim, said to be in his 30s, was attacked from behind on West Ridge Trail ...

...In a separate interview, Petersburg told 9News the man apparently did everything wildlife officials recommend when encountering a wild animal of this kind, such as putting his hands in the air, making noise and standing his ground.”

Hmmm. Attacked from behind, put his hands in the air, made noise and stood his ground. Did I miss something?

Maybe that’s just how he runs? Or he really does have eyes in the back of his head? Or Petersburg is and idiot?
