And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That's exactly how a woman was killed by a mountain lion 30 years ago near Cool, CA. The cat pounced on her from behind, glommed onto her head and crushed her skull. She never knew what hit her.
Didn't know what hit her but for a few brief seconds she was in intense pain. Have you ever been hit in the back of the head so hard it leaves a bad taste in your mouth? Imagine your skull crushing in.
This looks like an incident some years ago, I think in Thailand? Cat wandered into town, and these are cops, trying to drive the kitty away from the populated area, or into a trap for capture and re-locating. Notice they aren't armed? Helmet guy is a bike cop, IIRC.
This is why I have a policy to never enter the leopard enclosure.

DeleteCat goes for the guy without a helmet. Who says helmets don't save lives?
ReplyDeleteThose rear legs eviscerate. I remember when it dawned on me that all cats attack the same way. Gives me shivers....
ReplyDeleteThe Running Of The Jaguar in Rio never caught on like The Running Of the Bulls did in Pamplona.
