Does the cougar get to plead his case to a judge and determine if he is guilty before they can shoot him.

I'd have done more than throw a backpack at that cougar. Hope the park officials had plenty of popcorn while monitoring.

That's not how it works in California. They will be charging the father with assault and endangering the 3 year old kids life. They are monitoring the lions feelings..

Im going to have to believe cougartail on this one. They were monitoring the lions feelings. Sounds right.

Came down a day early for an interview in Foothill Ranch and had some time to kill in the afternoon, and the trailhead was by the hotel. Hiking down from the top around 6pm I bumped into a guy who mentioned a previous fatal cat attack:

and another close call:

all in the same park, which is not that big. Had my head on a swivel all the way back to the car.

This one was in Colorado. Attacked a woman. When a deputy responded, the cat went to attack her. The cat was killed, and a few bullets found other things to hit too.

NOT as rare as you seem to think, I and my kids have been stalked by a cat several times. There is a REASON that i get a cat tag EVEN though i don't actively hunt them. :yike:

I think there was an 80's movie along those lines, "Wolfen"
