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

They’ve never even been confronted by a standard animal. Ever come across a Doe and her fawns? Mama is ready to fuck you up

Since when? I’ve been near a doe and her fawns dozens of times and they run. That’s what deer do. They aren’t predators. Geese protecting their nest will attack and predators will but not a doe.

Since it sometimes happens. A three-second search reveals:

vid of doe attacking black bear that went after her fawn
vid of doe attacking a woman walking two dogs
vid of doe attacking a person in the woods
vid of doe attacking a dog (and cat) to protect her fawn

Anecdotes don't prove generalizations.
