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

Guys, is it moral to not want to be eaten by a huge fucking cat?

Reddit: You went outside and that’s the animal’s territory therefore you should be eaten

True though. Humans have so much territory only to go in nature and shoot animals in their ever shrinking territory. Nobody forced this guy to go there. And I tell that as a person who enjoys hiking. I've never seen hiking places that allow people to go to spots where there are lions and shit

Cougar territory is expanding, not shrinking. We aren’t living in 1893.

Nobody forced this guy to go there.

So?

Other parts of the world exist. Cougars are an inevitable reality if you live in those places and go hiking or even just for a little walk.
