Leave mountain lions alone!

cougar

I can’t believe this story. This morning at Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, a hiker was attacked by a mountain lion after he....get this...went to pet one of the cougar’s three cubs!

What the frak?!

I mean, seriously. You’re hiking along, see a female lion with three of her cubs and think you should try and pet one of the cubs?? How incredibly dumb is that?!

What really gets me about this story is that, because of this, the policy is to generally put the mountain lion down for coming into contact with a human. Albeit a stupid human. The only good thing about this story is that officials have contacted a San Diego wildlife sanctuary that has agreed to take the lion and her cubs if found. Run kitty, run!!

People, DO NOT try and pet cubs if you’re ever out in the wild.

Read the full story
and you to will shake your head in disbelief.

Oh, and here’s
for you all. I love #6...Do not approach a cougar!
