A better option than trying to pry it’s mouth open would be to gouge its eyes.
How old was the cougar, over 45?
B.C. conservation officers responded and said they tracked and killed the two cougars.
In Californicator land, these two officers would be fired and put into jail for kill an endangered wonderful critter.
“Bromley said the hoodie Zack was wearing helped protect him from the cougar’s thrashing, but the animal then clamped its jaws on the boy’s forearm. That’s when his mom, Chelsea, heard the struggle and came rushing to her son’s rescue.
“She jumped on top of this thing, but it just wouldn’t let go of Zack’s forearm so she then had to pry this cougar’s jaw open,” Bromley said.”
Again in California, the mother, Chelsea would be arrested for interfering with an endangered species trying to feed itself.
I’m very surprised there are cougars on Vancouver island one would think they would have been eliminated a hundred years ago. I wonder if the feel good tree huggers reintroduce them?
Ooops. Wrong Cougar.
