Hamm and yeggs! Can't say as I blame the lion.
I used to hike there as a kid. Never occurred to me that there would be mountain lions. For that matter, there probably weren't back then.
Lots of elk, though.
Here is a woman after your heart!

Man (Freeper kanawa) stabs bear to death
"After the attack, game wardens closed the park, about 320 miles north of San Francisco, and released dogs to track the lion. They later shot a pair of lions found near the trail where the attack happened."
Why??? I'll never get the liberal mindset on animals.
That Cat really made a mess of his face and head. It's a good job our pet cats aren't as big as our dogs......
Now where's that Eskimo you want me to wrestle with?

Mrs Hamm said she grabbed a four-inch-wide log and beat the animal with it, but it would not release its hold on her husband’s head.
“Jim was talking to me all through this, and he said, ’I’ve got a pen in my pocket and get the pen and jab him in the eye’,” she said. “So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didn’t want to go in as easy as I thought it would.”
When the pen bent and became useless, Mrs Hamm went back to using the log. The lion eventually let go and, with blood on its nose, stood staring at her. She screamed and waved the log until the animal left.

Can't you control you pets? What happened to the leash law?
Sounds similar to the story about the man getting his testicles ripped out by his pet monkey, during the monkey's birthday celebration. I'm glad this woman and her husband are okay.
2. Happy 50th to the young couple and many, many more.
It is a good thing CA prevents them from carrying a sidearm. Escalating the violence was happily avoided.

No waiting period for logs. If she used an eight inch log rather than the four inch log she would have knocked the cat into next Sunday.
Just damn! Go Granny, go!!
Way to go lady! Although kanawa would have cut the lions heart out with his trusty knife, looked the cat in the eye and taken a big bloody bite out of the beasts heart, you did the best you could do with a log.
Makes me despise the cowardly doctor who watched his wife be eaten by a black bear even more.
My friend, I and his wife watched a Dateline or some other idiot show where they interviewed a "man" about having a rapist with a gun slip into their bedroom and having to watch him rape his wife and the "grief" he and his wife were going through.
His wife said "Oh that's so sad" in unison we were in a tirade about the "poor guy" (We're both about a 10 on the MAN scale), the rapist comes into my bedroom he better come in shooting, because even if does manage to get a shot off if it doesn't kill me immediately he will die by his own gun, the blunt end, a bullet would be too good for him.
I remember a funny dinner conversation with us and our women where some life threatening situation came up, he and I had plans (most of them similar) already thought out for every situation they started questioning us with.
They were amazed, is this what you guys think about??? "Yeah, pretty much, in between thinking about sex, steaks, money, etc."
