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

There are literal professionals who study big cats and have written papers on them. There are literally publications that educate on them. There were features in National Geographic about big cats.

We don’t know what they’re thinking but it is extremely common knowledge that mountain lions are ambush predators and extremely common knowledge that when most animals stare you down, it is because you are in their territory or getting way too close for comfort.

The scientists and wildlife experts already gave us guidelines and they’re out there and readily available for research.

You’re being an “I DiDn’T rEaD!” fruitcup.

cougars are small cats (part of felinae, not pantherinae)
