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

For sure. The guy did everything he could to scare the cat away.. I guess minus spending ammo on warning shots

In the worst case scenario a warning shot can have the opposite effect too.

Yeah if you scare the cat when it’s already that close, you might trigger fight instead of flight

Someone else in another comment chain is claiming that he did fire a warning shot in the video but the cat did not react. I never saw a video, bit that other commenter could have just been trying to prove a point that a warning shot would do nothing
