A brave mother fought off a mountain lion — with her bare hands — as it savagely attacked her 5-year-old son outside their California home last week, authorities said Saturday.

The unnamed woman punched the 65-pound wild animal and wrestled it away from her child in the front yard of the family’s house in Calabasas on Thursday, authorities said.

“We can’t lay a hand on coyotes”

In Texas you can shoot them year round and do not need a hunting license for this. They killed two of my cats. I only have indoor cats now.

I no longer hunt as the joy of killing has left me. I have no problems with ethical hunters.

I will kill a coyote in an instant. That is not hunting. It is just taking out the trash.
