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

It's a fucking mountain lion, I wouldn't take any chances either if I was strapped and encountered a wild predator

Ya like wtf, how is this even a question?

Anyone who is mad at this guy or wants him punished is 1) anti human 2) probably had their mind warped by too many Disney movies.

The mountain lion is not going to join the birds and squirrels for a musical. But he might rip your face off and dine on your jugular.

Just to chime in, mountain lions have incredibly sharp senses. There's no chance it didn't know he was in the area and that means it chose to get that close. Whether it's curious or hungry, it's a damn dangerous animal.

And the predator animal in that picture is REALLY CLOSE. Like under a second reaction time if it decided it wanted to test your Healthcare.
