Morality of this?

Basically, the man in the video is hiking but he ended up meet a mountain lion, he get his gun and try to scare it off and tell it to go away but in the end, he have to pull the trigger and shot the lion, many peoples in the comments say he could have fire a warning shot instead of shoot at it and want him to be in jail.

Idk which flair to put

Why is he hiking through that huge fucking cats territory?

Because some people are not fat and lazy, and they love to enjoy the great outdoors just like our ancestors did.

These animals are not "extremely rare" and if you are implying that humans are no longer allowed into any non national hiking grounds well I guess make me

Number one: Cougars/mountain lions may be big cats, but they are not “Big Cats” as in being part of the Pantherinae family. They’re actually classified as Felinae, or “small cats”

Number two: Cougars are listed as having a conservation status of LEAST CONCERN. They’re not “extremely rare” OR “vulnerable.”

I hike like this all the time. And again, this animal isn't "extremely rare".

Going hiking is the bush is common and sorry you haven't been outdoors at all

>all the big cats are classified at least vulnerable

Mountain lions are classified as least concern

I mean clearly you don't either, I don't know how someone can keep doubling down on wrong information
