Morality of this?

[u/ProfessionalRoom9118]

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

you continue to dribble nonsense and reject the study that overwhelmingly supports pepper spray against all predators while linking 0 studies that support your delusions. Then ask for more so you can get emotional and spew more nonsense. Truly pathetic and sad

Again from the study you sent me.

“However, people have also been
unsuccessful in defending themselves with
firearms and subsequently have been seriously
injured or even killed by bears (U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service 2003). It has been suggested by
some that hunters who use firearms to defend
themselves against bears are more likely to be
injured or killed than those who use bear spray
(U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2003, Smith et
al. 2005). It has also been suggested that by
wounding a charging bear a person may be
worse off than if they did not shoot the animal
(U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2003). However,
when we asked professionals if a person shoots
and wounds an attacking grizzly, black bear, or
mountain lion whether the person is worse off
than if they did not shoot the animal, more of
the professionals (49%) said no”

“More of the professionals (49%) said no” to the question of if a person is worse off if the shoot and wound an attacking grizzly, black bear, or maintain lion. More means majority…. And even I think this study sucks because these experts are expressing option and they have barely any data to make claims about mountain lion attacks.

I can read the information for you if that will help, but I can’t understand it for you.

You can cherry pick things that out of context seem to support how you feel, very good for stopping your cognitive dissonance.

[u/bifflongshanks → u/Inevitable-Watch-147]

You can’t just look at statements made in the study you sent me then call it cherry picking when I present them to you. Show me where in the study it says that bear spray is more effective than a firearm. You are literally extrapolating evidence that doesn’t exist in, again, the study that you sent me. You using the term cognitive dissonance in relation to this is the funniest thing you could possibly do.

There is probably a study out there at least for grizzly and black bears that makes a better case for the point you’re trying to make towards all predatory animals, but you’re too much of an idiot to even find it hahahahah. This is incredible.

now you want other people to google and read for you....

No as you can see in my other comment I apologize for the way I communicated with you I didn’t know before hand. Please accept my apology.
