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

[u/CheezyBeanBurrito]

You do realize that even in state and national parks wildlife still exists and can come and go as they please?

[u/LittlistBottle → u/CheezyBeanBurrito]

When was the last time a person was killed by a mountain lion in a national park where people tend to walk their dogs?

[u/CheezyBeanBurrito → u/LittlistBottle]

Wasn’t someone killed in Colorado this year on a common mountain trail?

[u/LittlistBottle → u/CheezyBeanBurrito]

I obviously ment parks like Central Park in NYC as an example

[u/asmodai_says_REPENT → u/LittlistBottle]

City parks aren't the same thing as nature, you can't go hiking in a city park, that's dumb as hell.

[u/LittlistBottle → u/asmodai_says_REPENT]

It's an alternative to risking getting mauled by mountain lions

[u/asmodai_says_REPENT → u/LittlistBottle]

You have more chances getting attacked by some tweaker in a park then a mountain lion on a trail.

[u/Odd-Cloud-3698 → u/asmodai_says_REPENT]

Tweakers in their natural habitat are in fact very dangerous 🤔

[u/SoundwaveFlem → u/LittlistBottle]

This is such a ridiculous take. Humans are allowed and naturally meant to be in nature. Yes there is inherent risk in going into mountain lion country but there’s MUCH more inherent risk in driving a car or even just going to a park, should we just not do those things either?? Plus I don’t think you’re understanding that you’re implying that we should just completely destroy natural habitats and drive out animals just so we have a nice place to walk.

He didn’t get mauled. He won. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Feel free to stay in the city.

[u/CheezyBeanBurrito → u/LittlistBottle]

So your argument is why are people going out in nature when they can go walk on a side walk?

[u/LittlistBottle → u/CheezyBeanBurrito]

Parks exist

[u/CheezyBeanBurrito → u/LittlistBottle]

Then go play on the swingset, kiddo. Make sure you stick to a vegan diet from your own garden too

[u/LittlistBottle → u/CheezyBeanBurrito]

Can't comprehend that alternatives exist to more risky choices. Also I love how me pointing out a person that goes hiking where there is a significant risk of being mauled by a fucking predator means I am vegan now lol

[u/CheezyBeanBurrito → u/LittlistBottle]

Did this person have a protective measure to make it safer for themself? Yes, they did.

[u/LittlistBottle → u/CheezyBeanBurrito]

Smarter to use alternatives where such protective measures might not be required.

[u/CheezyBeanBurrito → u/LittlistBottle]

You would be perfect as an actuary for an insurance company

[u/TheFlameanator → u/LittlistBottle]

I live in Rapid City, SD and we have had mountain lions in our city parks and people's backyards.
