[SPKrazy]

Got it in my email with this text:
"Here is a photo of a cougar killed SW of Jet Oklahoma. The guy who shot it is 6 foot tall and weighs about 220 lbs. He was in a deer stand and saw the cat pass him downwind. He then saw it pass him upwind. When the cat passed him again (closer this time) downwind, he knew that it was hunting him. So, boom."


WOW :wow:

1. It passed the snopes test

2. Poor cougar.

A shot fired into the air or ground would have scared it off.

[Phillycat]

3. Wow, I had no idea they got that big.

And I too think the cat could have been easily scared off, without resorting to shooting it. It's not like the guy's going to use the meat.

4. Thrill-kill

:puke:

[flvegan]

5. Big man with a gun.

Nice trophy, pencildick.

[TK421]

6. "Look, I'm compensating for something"!

yeah, I bet he's got a dick the size of a Vitamin C tablet

[flvegan]

7. LOL!

Good one!

[Deja Q]

34. That large? I'm surprised.

:spray:

8. No kidding

And if the guy was up in a tree stand and could see it, how much danger was he really in? Big predators aren't stupid--seems like if the cougar were stalking him it wouldn't have been out in the open where it could be seen. A shot fired into the ground near the cougar probably would've scared it off.

9. Oh my god! What a fucktard.

That guy is a fucking idiot. First of all, cougars don't typically eat humans. Second, he's in a tree, cougar's on the ground...he's in no immediate danger. Third, as many have said...WARNING SHOT.

What a piece of shit. I hope karma bites him in the ass in a big way. :mad:

[Auggie]

11. Totally agree

[TZ]

23. Not necessarily

I have relatives in colorado. Go to some of those parks out there you will see TONS of warning signs about cougars. I remember on of the signs saying in that place they have several attacks (some fatal) a year. Problem is a lot of their natural prey is being driven into urban areas and they follow and lose their natural caution of humans. If they are hungry enough they WILL stalk and kill people, although they prefer pets, sadly.
I am saying nothing about this particular case but cougars are VERY dangerous.

[huskerlaw]

25. Well clearly they're dangerous

but the point remains that he was in no imminent danger. He had ample time to fire a warning shot. If that didn't work, it would have been self defense. As it is, he was an idiot.

[sasquatch]

10. Uh guys, lay off the hunters, especially this guy

Something that fucking big probably would eventually kill somebody.

[flvegan]

14. Sorry, but trophy hunters can suck it.

Check my post #13.

[Quantess]

15. If that animal DID kill someone,

then hunters would be out in force, shooting every mountain lion they saw, just for revenge.
If this cat truly saw the man as prey, it's probably for the best that the hunter killed it.

just my .02

26. As my daughter said when she was 7....

"Who cares if people die? People pollute!"

Children... beware of a Unitarian upbringing!

[Sock Puppet]

29. Let's kill everything bigger than ourselves.

What a plan. :thumbsup:

[Arugula Latte]

33. Yeah -- Isn't that just a peachy sentiment?

:eyes:

[jgraz]

36. Sound good. I'm going out to shoot some pickups tonight.

I'm pretty sure they're trying to run me down.

[Joey Liberal]

12. That guy is a coward

He didn't have to kill that cougar.

[flvegan]

13. According to Snopes, this shitbag is a trophy hunter

http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/mountainlion.asp

I repeat...big man with a gun. Fucking pencildick.

[TK421]

16. Did I say vitamin C? I meant to say he has a tic-tac dick

:D

[Quantess]

17. So then he was most likely lying about being hunted by the animal.

He wasn't acting in self defense after all. What a coward.

[flvegan]

19. The e-mail itself is a farce.

I don't think the guy, in his defense, started the hoax. The pic was lifted (according to Snopes) and a story was fabricated. The guy is a trophy hunter, used a call, cat came out, he killed it.

He's still a coward.

[PeaceNikki]

18. Ah, and it's really from The Cascades near Bellevue, WA

Not OK at all.

[Quantess]

20. Close enough to where I live.

Who wants me to go to his house and kick his ass?

I'm not strong enough to whoop his ass, unfortunately. But we can dream...

[hyphenate]

21. Perhaps some buckshit

fired his way from a distance would make him shit his pants, at least. Ironically, I have a thread in GD about those who harm animals getting punished. This asshole should be added to the list. Let's hope his karma includes him getting punished by a cougar when he doesn't have his gun.

[Quantess]

22. I love the concept of reincarnation,

tailor made for cases like these.
He can get reincarnated as a rabbit who falls prey to the cougar.

[SPKrazy]

30. Well good catch

I had mixed feelings if he had really been in some danger, but your find answers that question.

[Shine]

24. Poor cougar was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

:( looks like it was a magnificent cat.

[Auggie]

27. I'm nearly in tears over this

"... he knew that it was hunting him"

BULLSHIT!!!

[Sock Puppet]

28. That's a very sickening picture. Poor cat.

[Canuckistanian]

31. And I suppose a LOUD gunshot wouldn't have scared the animal away?

And I can just see him up in his deer stand whispering, "Heeeere, kitty, kitty, kitty......"

Asshole.

[Arugula Latte]

32. Asshole. I wish that cougar had ripped him to shreds. nt

[Deja Q]

35. Yeah, but have you tried shredding tic-tacs lately?

:rofl:
