Here's another example of someone ignoring warning of a wild animal. This story is about a female hiker that is warned by a group of hikers that there is a bear coming this way. The lady just responds, "okay, well I'm going to continue with my hike" and then she continues to walk towards the bear. Here's a link to the video if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/Od7KGpEqnT4/w-d-xo.html
They would be kept going if it was a crazed gun man shooting up the block and someone came running and said to them dont go down the block there is a gun man shooting. His answer to his HMMMM HONEY LETS CONTINUE WE ARE THE PRIVILEGED ONES NOTHING WILL HAPPEN...JACKASSES

During Covid I went to go check out a popular hiking trail that I had never been to before. At the trailhead was a warning image of a mountain lion. I was alone and didn't see any other hikers. I went back to my vehicle and drove to the beach.
This is all the parents fault!!! As soon as you get the warning don't take any chances with your kids. Turn around and head the other direction. Because of these "dumb ass entitled" parents they risked the kids lives and got a mountain lion killed in the process. Great job Karen and Kevin 👍
@@TONY-dq1pk bro you just dont even get it. If you walk PAST the lion (or anything else) EITHER way you are giving it your back while you walk away haha. My point is DONT WALK CLOSE TO THE LION!! Turn around (or walk backwards away) to avoid taking your kids into harms way "right past" the mountain lion that someone just warned you about hahahaha 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁
@@TONY-dq1pkso you are saying if someone says there is a huge mountain lion 100 yards up the trail you should walk your kids the 100 yards and right past the lion as to "not turn your back" to the lion haha 😆 thx for the good Xmas laugh my friend!! Your funny!!! I like you your funny!!!! haha
The family made a stupid decision to continue their walk after receiving a warning that the mountain lion was spotted and they made the decision to walk or hike in an area where mountain lions roam freely and live which caused it to be killed unnecessarily. Our actions and dumb decisions play a role in the outcomes of situations of which we choose to put ourselves in.
Then because they wouldn't heed the warning from the biker they went ahead anyway. Then a free range mountain lion gets put down in its territory because of their stupidity of hiking in cougar territory.

Because a wild animal like that shouldn't be so bold. A group of humans should frighten it right off. Even the cop's gunshot did not scare it off. Something was wrong and in time it's likely somebody would have died while walking.
Running from the mountain lion and turning your back to it would only motivate it to attack. You never want to turn your back to a wild animal. You won't be able to outrun them anyways.
"We just started being very cautious"... No you didn't. You chose to put your dogs and children in danger, then had to call for help resulting in the cat being killed. All because you couldn't be bothered to end a walk early. Then made a few bucks for the story, I'm assuming? Since the anchor said it's exclusive to CBS.
You’re also assuming that when she was warned she proceeded with her hike. How do you know she wasn’t finishing the hike and on her way back to her car? If that were the case, then it would make sense to proceed with caution. It wouldn’t make sense for her to turn around and walk in the opposite direction of her car with her toddler deeper in the woods. From what we know, there’s at least a 50/50 chance she was on her way back to her car when she was warned. Come on man, don’t be that one dude. Use your head.
Why did the family keep going when they were warned there was a dangerous animal up ahead?! The mountain lion's death is on them. I sure hope they didn't leave cubs alone in the wild to starve to death. 💔😢
Bruh that mountain lion was going to kill a human regardless it was were humans are walking and on human tracks lol it was far from its habitat nigga was trespassing tf u mean
Only the privileged ones keep walking in. Just like if some guy came running around the corner and told them there was a crazed.guy with a gun dont go..Hmmm honey I think we will be ok let's continue...jackasses..
Yes they are totally stupid for continuing to walk in that direction.... But everything the cat did after warranted it's demise.... Something was wrong with it.... It had zero fear of humans or a extremely unsafe curiosity.... I don't believe in killing animals just to do it... But wats the alternative 🤷🏽♂️ not killing it so it could kill someone else a couple days later????
Mountain lion looked so casual, like it was just minding it's own business walking to where ever it's going before being confronted and killed by humans. Sad really
@@ladysmith7747 that human mother was trying to keep the lion from attacking HER babies....I guess you've never seen the results of a mountain lion attack.
The park ranger could have addressed this issue. A tranquilizer should have been used if necessary or even bear spray. Maybe they should just close that areas off to protect both humans and wild life. They can put up fencing around areas that people hike. I’ve been to location that have fencing. It works great for both. I’m so tired of hearing stories like this where wildlife gets killed when it’s not always necessary.
I believe it was police and not park ranger, if it was a park ranger than maybe they could tranq but even then u gotta guess the weight cause 2 little could be very dangerous and to much could b deadly, Bear spray would of been nice if they tried it and had some on hand, although when a mountain lion is that comfortable tracking down a human that’s not a good sign for the future
If I'm going hiking and there is a fence along the route, I could've just gone for a walk at the park. Bring bear spray please so both party live to see another day.
The mountain lion was probably maintaining her ground because her cubs were nearby. The deputy should have told the Darwin family to go the other way, put out cones and notify Animal Control.
Ok... I really thought I heart wrong when they said someone warned them about a mountain lion and they decided to keep walking towards it... With their kids??!!!! That poor mountain lion didn't have to die that day, although I'm curious if it has rabies or just keep approaching out of pure hunger. Cross that rainbow bridge... No more hunger or suffering.
It’s the same as facing a shark when you go into open ocean...Your in their home! Yes their could of been something wrong with the mountain lion that it wasnt scared off but still it’s sad it had to be put down. It could of had its babies close by which is why it was stalking them, just making sure it’s babies stayed safe, they don’t know who you are or why your there.
Lol. Where do you think we all came from? We share this land. If they're going to try and kill us just for walking through their neighborhood. Screw them.
@@Elizabeth-n4m Yes it was. That wasn't normal behavior. They typically are never seen or run off. It approached a cop who had fired a pistol at it as a warning. That cat was aggressive. It was only a matter of time before it killed someone due to being so comfortable approaching humans.
YOU FORGOT THAT IS THEIR HOME. NOT YOURS, IF SOMEONE WARNS YOU ABOUT A MOUNTAIN LION AND YOU IGNORE IT....THEN DON'T BE SURPRISED IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU. LISTEN WHEN SOMEONE IS GIVING YOU A WARNING.
Tip: If ever being stalked by a predator w little kids w you, put the kids onto the shoulders of the adult. Get them up and off ground level immediately it's their smallness and the way they move and sound that interests it. In this case it's probably the dogs that interested it. Winter is coming, predators have an instinct to bulk up pre-winter especially.
The mountain lion might have been protecting its young and making sure that the human invaders were leaving its space where a den was nearby. Poor kitty!
Yes,the mountain lion turned towards the woods at one point.Obviously she was just trying to make sure they left the area and her kittens were safe.Their idiotic choice to continue walking ,after being warned,caused that poor cat to die and leave kittens orphaned.
Imagine being on your territory and then they have to put you down because you are a threat to everyone else. I’m very impressed how we humans are. On second thought🤔🤔🤔🤔 I’m not, some of us are truly worthless.
This is a matter of survival. It's like when the white people killed the native Americans...the mountain lion had 10 minutes or so to decide whether walk away or go for it. The help arrived and rest is history. The territory you're talking about only happens if a certain species could protect their home. Humans or certain species will have that command and conquer ability.
@@ronf.2029 they had every chance to live peacefully, they wiped out settlements while they slept. What happened to the natives is on their own ancestors, don’t bring a bow to a gun fight.
No child endangerment charges? how dumb can you be? Now you killed a mountain lion in its own home because you didn’t want to listen! This infuriates me!
Dude. Why didn't they leave? This park was set aside for wildlife, no? Also, you should expect to see wildlife at the park. There can be snakes, coyotes, bears, eagles, javelinas. That's the best thing about a park. The animals have a right to live too. If it took 10 minutes for a cop to show up, that's 10 minutes they could have used to leave. I'm actually surprised it's not illegal to kill a cougar that hasn't bit anyone.
He really didnt have to shoot the mountain lion unless it attacked him. The fact he didnt scare it means he shoulda got everyone out of the area and requested backup and animal control
Yeah but that cat could have attacked in a flash and then shooting would not have been an easy option. It could have easily killed the entire family in literally a minute. Easily. At a zoo once, I pushed a huge tire hanging from a rope in a cage. The lion jumped upside down and with razor claws jumped on the back of the 200lb. tire and shredded it like it was it's toy. No man stands a chance.
You could have just walked away and retreated, chances are there were cubs nearby that she was protecting. Ignorance led to the unnecessary killing of this cat.
Stop it, y'all would be whining had the cat snatched the baby out of the stroller and you'd be calling for the cats head. Cat was in the humans way, cats aren't self aware, otherwise they'd be trying to communicate with us. Humans have domain over all creatures big or small. It's just the way the real world is. If you don't like it go feed yourself to a mountain lion and get out of my way. I wonder if animals in the wild complain when they have to put down a pesky predator. Damn you ppl make me sick.
@@Ginette688 I have been hiking in the Rockies all my life. I can’t even count on my hands how many times I have been chased off a trail by not only mountain lions, but also bobcats believe it or not. This is completely normal behavior and cats will become territorial and offensive if they are trying to protect their cubs or a kill. And let’s not forget, they are Wildcats that are fairly large animals. Not all of them are afraid of humans and noises. Especially if they are accustomed two people and noises from nearby hikers campers etc. etc. these are not domestic cats. They are wild animals. Most are timid and will runoff. But not if they have a purpose. It is crystal clear from this video that the cat was just trying to Get the hikers to back off. Most likely because there were Cubs nearby.
How do you know it was due to ignorance? Who’s to say that that lady wasn’t on her way back to the car? If that was the case, then it would be logical to proceed with caution. It would not make sense to turn around and walk further away from their car deeper into the forest.
They killed the mountain lion? Such bs..those idiots shouldn’t have had their kids out there if they were warned about the mountain lion! This is so sad. Poor cat :(
Looks and sounds like a Karen. Ignored the warning and then had the cat killed. Because they decided to be cautious. Like that means anything when it's a potential hungry cat roaming the bike trails.
A couple of decades ago in the hills nearby my home a mountain lion attacked a fully grown man riding a mountain bike and killed him then turned on two women mountain bikers who just happened to ride up the trail from the opposite direction. One hit scratched up pretty bad but got away. They notified the park rangers who tracked the lion back to its den where the man's remains were found about half a mile from where the man was attacked. Walking towards a mountain lion after being warned, especially with small children is about as dumb as dumb gets.
Once upon a time Humans went to the mountains, stalked naturally by mountain lion. The mountain lion then was killed for being naturally an predatory animal in its own environment. The mountain lion now is being studied for being hungry and naturally a predator. I can’t with these people!
@@christineb.1 hey christine and as always walk right into danger and THEN CALL FOR HELP...! EVEN WORSE...LOL. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE COMES RUNNING UP TO THEM AMD TELLS THEM THERE IS A CRAZED GUN MAN SHOOTING UP THR PLACE AROUND THE CORNER AND THE HUSBAND LOOKS AT HIS WIFE AND SAYS .HHHHHMMM I THINK WE WILL BE OK WE WONT GET SHOT...!! BUT ONLY THE PRIVILEGED ONES ITS AMAZING...!!
I'm Gobsmacked how naive those parents were 😱 A mountain lion can jump 16 to 20 feet high from a crouched position and a distance of over 40 feet while chasing prey. They were darned lucky they weren't attacked.
"We just started being very cautious" as you kept walking your babies and dogs toward a LION. Everyone is not smart. You could have just turned back and the lion could still be alive having never met you. Something's wrong with humanity.
@@JohnWickkkk you can’t turn your back from those typa animals their sneaky af can come at you like a flash you see how the guy in the video walking backwards? That an example of what the lady comment says
Turning your back on a preditor. Dumb. It gives the preditor a prey instinct. They were warned, and kept going. Then called for help, leading to the cats demise. My thought is it may have had cubs in the area. No way of knowing for certain, but I would not have kept going once warned. The cat would have eventually gone on its way.
PLEASE don't depend on others for your safety. There are many people who have DIED waiting for the police to show up. These people are out in the country with a 3 YEAR OLD CHILD and their "weapons" are throwing rocks? Stupid people shouldn't be breeding. I'd be ashamed to show my face. A 12 year old with a .22 could do whatever he wanted to with this family.
People need to stop building homes in wilderness. Leave a little land for the wild animals but people are greedy and don't give a flying fuck about anything but themselves.
Well humans have domain over all of the creatures, its just the way the real world is. You can't change that. If you don't like it go feed yourself to a local mountain lion and call it retribution for the mountain lion in this video. Otherwise get out of my way liberal weakling.
Lots of people judging the family for continuing the trail. Maybe they were going in the direction of their car or home. And F that mountain lion! It's a PREDATOR! We don't need mountain lions, we have pictures
If someone warned them of the mountain lion, why would they keep going with pets and a toddlers??? How damn dumb can you be. And not them studying the animal to see if something wrong with it, like what? Like humans casually carefree walking where they live?? Wild animals can’t have nothing to themselves cause humans are hunting and walking and riding bikes and creating roads in areas that really could be left alone it’s enough space to walk and hike in residential areas
Dude, chill out. Ever think of the possibility that they may have been on their way back to their car? If that was the case, then it wouldn’t make sense for them to turn around and walk further away from their car deeper into the forest. You just assumed that when she was warned she continued her hike. How do you know she wasn’t on our way back?
Yup because, as a mother, when i hear that there is a preditor up ahead, I would naturally put my 2 young children in harms way instead of turning back.. steller parenting. But it's okay, she was cautiously approaching the area
If making yourself larger, throwing rocks doesn't help, and you have no gun, Let that German Shepard go after it and fight while you leave the scene. Better be your fur baby than you. Cat was hungry and was not letting up. Thank god for the sheriff. Family was warned though by the Bikers. I would NOT have gone ahead, I would have gotten out of there.
Not not too bright to bring children and dogs up to the mountains when you know that there's mountain lions up there , not the sharpest tools in the shed.
We, humans think we have the right to invade and killed other spices. The family chose to walk towards the animal, family should be accountable for their actions as well. Knowingly the parents put their kid life in danger.
this “mom” kept walking towards the cat with her 2 kids , i can’t with these parents and those people with the dogs, they should’ve had the mountain lion be free and let natural selection run it’s course with these people
You're in there environment that's their home leave them alone that cop had no right to shoot him and everything with the cops is justified all they are is license killers
You lost me at "Bikers warned the couple about the Mountain Lion" and they just kept 🚶 towards danger with their two children with them🤦.
Okay so it isn’t just me then cus I was like TF??
With ZERO weapons and then they tell the whole country this story not even embarrassed at how dumb they were.
Thank god for 911 to stave off natural selection.
I was rooting for the mountain lion myself.
Yeah seriously...please don't have any more children!
We were told there is a mountain lion ahead... yet we kept going.. dummies
EXACTLY 🙄🙄🙄
With children.
and now an animal that was most likely trying to keep its babies safe is dead bc of their idiocy smh!!

@@ronf.2029 they had every chance to live peacefully, they wiped out settlements while they slept. What happened to the natives is on their own ancestors, don’t bring a bow to a gun fight.
@@Nuttyirishman85 not true
Shame on you for murdering that beautiful animal
No child endangerment charges? how dumb can you be? Now you killed a mountain lion in its own home because you didn’t want to listen! This infuriates me!
Dude. Why didn't they leave? This park was set aside for wildlife, no?
Also, you should expect to see wildlife at the park. There can be snakes, coyotes, bears, eagles, javelinas. That's the best thing about a park. The animals have a right to live too.
If it took 10 minutes for a cop to show up, that's 10 minutes they could have used to leave.
I'm actually surprised it's not illegal to kill a cougar that hasn't bit anyone.
I hope it wasn’t a mama giving a warning. Didn’t look like she was attacking, she was warning. I hope they went and checked for babies!
He really didnt have to shoot the mountain lion unless it attacked him. The fact he didnt scare it means he shoulda got everyone out of the area and requested backup and animal control
Don’t want to be to harsh on the cop, but who knows some of them are trigger happy😞😞😞
Yeah but that cat could have attacked in a flash and then shooting would not have been an easy option. It could have easily killed the entire family in literally a minute. Easily. At a zoo once, I pushed a huge tire hanging from a rope in a cage. The lion jumped upside down and with razor claws jumped on the back of the 200lb. tire and shredded it like it was it's toy. No man stands a chance.
You could have just walked away and retreated, chances are there were cubs nearby that she was protecting. Ignorance led to the unnecessary killing of this cat.
The cat isn't in the humans way
The humans are in the cat way.
Prolly had Cubs around
@@ITRUTH213 probably but it would have been more aggressive if the cubs were close by
Stop it, y'all would be whining had the cat snatched the baby out of the stroller and you'd be calling for the cats head. Cat was in the humans way, cats aren't self aware, otherwise they'd be trying to communicate with us. Humans have domain over all creatures big or small. It's just the way the real world is. If you don't like it go feed yourself to a mountain lion and get out of my way. I wonder if animals in the wild complain when they have to put down a pesky predator. Damn you ppl make me sick.
Absolutely. Invaded its habitat and got it killed by an incompetent deputy
says who?
So they kept going towards danger after being warned.
You mean to tell me that there was NO OTHER place for them to take their lil family stroll where there are NO mountain lions present?
Ignorance killed the mountain lion.
Ginette May be so but that’s the same behavior they do when they are protecting cubs or food they buried close by.
Dumbasses killed the mountain lion
@@Ginette688 territorial is pretty normal
@@Ginette688 I have been hiking in the Rockies all my life. I can’t even count on my hands how many times I have been chased off a trail by not only mountain lions, but also bobcats believe it or not. This is completely normal behavior and cats will become territorial and offensive if they are trying to protect their cubs or a kill. And let’s not forget, they are Wildcats that are fairly large animals. Not all of them are afraid of humans and noises. Especially if they are accustomed two people and noises from nearby hikers campers etc. etc. these are not domestic cats. They are wild animals. Most are timid and will runoff. But not if they have a purpose. It is crystal clear from this video that the cat was just trying to Get the hikers to back off. Most likely because there were Cubs nearby.
How do you know it was due to ignorance? Who’s to say that that lady wasn’t on her way back to the car? If that was the case, then it would be logical to proceed with caution. It would not make sense to turn around and walk further away from their car deeper into the forest.
there was NO REASON to shoot the lion! all because of stupid humans.
They killed the mountain lion? Such bs..those idiots shouldn’t have had their kids out there if they were warned about the mountain lion! This is so sad. Poor cat :(
Looks and sounds like a Karen. Ignored the warning and then had the cat killed. Because they decided to be cautious. Like that means anything when it's a potential hungry cat roaming the bike trails.
A couple of decades ago in the hills nearby my home a mountain lion attacked a fully grown man riding a mountain bike and killed him then turned on two women mountain bikers who just happened to ride up the trail from the opposite direction. One hit scratched up pretty bad but got away. They notified the park rangers who tracked the lion back to its den where the man's remains were found about half a mile from where the man was attacked.
Walking towards a mountain lion after being warned, especially with small children is about as dumb as dumb gets.
So even though you were warned you kept walking? And cost the lion it's life.
If that cougar had ACTUALLY been stalking them, they never would have seen it! It died needlessly!
When lions show no fear towards humans they need to be killed for the good of humanity
@@bellicose2037 that's what I said of your mom.
People move into areas with wildlife and then complain about the wildlife smh.
Certain people do that
They approached the area AFTER they were told 🤦🏾♂️.
Once upon a time Humans went to the mountains, stalked naturally by mountain lion. The mountain lion then was killed for being naturally an predatory animal in its own environment. The mountain lion now is being studied for being hungry and naturally a predator. I can’t with these people!
I walk that trail every day with my dog. It’s right in my back yard , off my property. Bummer ! I was not at all happy they shot it .
Until it ate your dog then you would've wished they killed it
@@JoebsonOSRS
Should keep a eye out on your dog.
@@caminocutie1 you can watch your dog all you want what you gonna do when a full grown hungry mountain lion is after it
So sad for nature . Rip cat .
Right!
@@Harlem.Harlemz you fine btw
It was probably sweet and just saying hi
It would've attacked if it was looking for trouble
@@brandonpenna5626 no such thing
Anything wrong with the mountain lion? Hell, it’s dead.
There were thousand ways that the lion's life could have been saved.
They should have left, not keep walking in mountain lion direction.
So are they gonna shoot every mountain lion they see now? Insane.
The kind of risk that isn’t worth taking.
It was likely after the dogs. Very sad ending.
I see no reason why the animal had to be shot
Because there was a high likelihood that it was going to eat a person! 👍
But hat officer could have brought along a tranquilizer gun. .
they still continue after they were told mountain lion
Only the privileged ones keep walking in ...!
My thoughts exactly! And now a mountain lion lost it's life over it. Stupid people.
@@christineb.1 hey christine and as always walk right into danger and THEN CALL FOR HELP...! EVEN WORSE...LOL. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE COMES RUNNING UP TO THEM AMD TELLS THEM THERE IS A CRAZED GUN MAN SHOOTING UP THR PLACE AROUND THE CORNER AND THE HUSBAND LOOKS AT HIS WIFE AND SAYS .HHHHHMMM I THINK WE WILL BE OK WE WONT GET SHOT...!! BUT ONLY THE PRIVILEGED ONES ITS AMAZING...!!
I'm Gobsmacked how naive those parents were 😱 A mountain lion can jump 16 to 20 feet high from a crouched position and a distance of over 40 feet while chasing prey. They were darned lucky they weren't attacked.
Even the dogs knew to mind their own business. Stay out of its home.
I arrest the parents for reckless endangerment of there two children and That I carry pepper spray for these reasons when I walk a trail
Not once did they think the Mountain Lion had family too? Really?
"We just started being very cautious" as you kept walking your babies and dogs toward a LION. Everyone is not smart. You could have just turned back and the lion could still be alive having never met you. Something's wrong with humanity.
Wait… so they need to study if there’s something wrong with the animal for doing what an animal does?
Makes sense.
These people are aggravating. They put their family in danger
I'm sorry but that wasn't the right choice
This lady is why we need a warning on coffee
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A BIG CAT!
Huh
@@JohnWickkkk you can’t turn your back from those typa animals their sneaky af can come at you like a flash you see how the guy in the video walking backwards? That an example of what the lady comment says
Turning your back on a preditor. Dumb. It gives the preditor a prey instinct. They were warned, and kept going. Then called for help, leading to the cats demise. My thought is it may have had cubs in the area. No way of knowing for certain, but I would not have kept going once warned. The cat would have eventually gone on its way.
@@stonergee420 im that lady lol yes if you wanna get claws to the back try running
They were told there is a mountain lion in the area. They kept going. Now the animal in his habitat is dead. Great.
PLEASE don't depend on others for your safety. There are many people who have DIED waiting for the police to show up. These people are out in the country with a 3 YEAR OLD CHILD and their "weapons" are throwing rocks? Stupid people shouldn't be breeding. I'd be ashamed to show my face. A 12 year old with a .22 could do whatever he wanted to with this family.
and they got told a big kitty was on the same path yet they decide to march right in with a toddler . social media fame that is what this is
City slickers! SMH
Idiots got that mountain lion killed because they wanted to ignore a warning
A mountain lion gets killed due to the irresponsible behavior of humans. Totally reprehensible, repulsive and sickening indeed.
So why didn't you go back to the car instead of heading toward the mountain lion
These people are clueless!!
People need to stop building homes in wilderness. Leave a little land for the wild animals but people are greedy and don't give a flying fuck about anything but themselves.
Caution would have been to not continue.
Well humans have domain over all of the creatures, its just the way the real world is. You can't change that. If you don't like it go feed yourself to a local mountain lion and call it retribution for the mountain lion in this video. Otherwise get out of my way liberal weakling.
Hello Annie how are you doing today.
So they kill the cat due to ignorant human choices.
Now some cubs have no mother
Lots of people judging the family for continuing the trail. Maybe they were going in the direction of their car or home. And F that mountain lion! It's a PREDATOR! We don't need mountain lions, we have pictures
What a pathetic story
What a pathetic person
That mountain lion didn't go crazy, that mountain lion went mountain lion. Ya stepped into its path, whatchu think was gonna happen?.. smh.
It's path?
It doesn't own the wilderness.
If someone warned them of the mountain lion, why would they keep going with pets and a toddlers??? How damn dumb can you be. And not them studying the animal to see if something wrong with it, like what? Like humans casually carefree walking where they live?? Wild animals can’t have nothing to themselves cause humans are hunting and walking and riding bikes and creating roads in areas that really could be left alone it’s enough space to walk and hike in residential areas
Dude, chill out. Ever think of the possibility that they may have been on their way back to their car? If that was the case, then it wouldn’t make sense for them to turn around and walk further away from their car deeper into the forest. You just assumed that when she was warned she continued her hike. How do you know she wasn’t on our way back?
They are not in our space….we are in theirs ! It’s really sad !
Biker: "Hey, there's a mountain lion ahead"
Mom: "my chance to go VIRAL!!!!!!"
Why did he not have been tranquilized and then brought up to the higher mountain? That’s ridiculous. He didn’t need to be killed.
Dayum a lion getting kill in its own home smh
Title should read: selfish ignorant mom kills mountain lion to go on her walk..entitled people no respect.
Yup because, as a mother, when i hear that there is a preditor up ahead, I would naturally put my 2 young children in harms way instead of turning back.. steller parenting. But it's okay, she was cautiously approaching the area
If making yourself larger, throwing rocks doesn't help, and you have no gun, Let that German Shepard go after it and fight while you leave the scene. Better be your fur baby than you. Cat was hungry and was not letting up. Thank god for the sheriff. Family was warned though by the Bikers. I would NOT have gone ahead, I would have gotten out of there.
Poor mountain lion
Hope they feel better about themselves that's terrible I actually don't even know how this is news though
Not not too bright to bring children and dogs up to the mountains when you know that there's mountain lions up there , not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Wow! And to think I have jogged that trail a million times sometimes at night aswell!
Killing mountain lions for being in their own territory. I bet that mountain Lion was protecting her cubs.
Lord have mercy
I thought she was gonna say, 'looking back we should have been a lot smarter'.
I guess we have to realise that humans aren't the only ones who inhabit this planet. It should never be a surprise.
We, humans think we have the right to invade and killed other spices. The family chose to walk towards the animal, family should be accountable for their actions as well. Knowingly the parents put their kid life in danger.
this “mom” kept walking towards the cat with her 2 kids , i can’t with these parents and those people with the dogs, they should’ve had the mountain lion be free and let natural selection run it’s course with these people
A superb example of Human arrogance and wildlife disregard.
You're in there environment that's their home leave them alone that cop had no right to shoot him and everything with the cops is justified all they are is license killers
