[@Jack-rk7jc]

@@THIS---GUY Should he have cradled the the baby cougar until it fell asleep and quietly walk away? At 5 months a mountain lion is big and old enough to be life-threatening to anybody, and there's only one way out of that fight when there's no one else there to help you. It's not like this guy woke up that day and wanted to stomp a baby cat to death... you're obviously not empathetic enough to see yourself in his place. If any predator attacked you and is in the process of mauling you alive, you would do your best to fight back. This guy should be celebrating for surviving that. It's a shame a baby lion had to die, but when it's a fight to the death, or more accurately, a fight for survival, you should root for the man.

[@martinwilliamson5250]

i encountered one today, alone in the dark, 3km from my car and even further from the nearest person. Luckily it didn't attack, but it seemed to purposefully show itself and was walking in a direction that was about to intercept me. It quickly jumped up onto a low tree, and watched me for a few minutes while I threw things at it, until it finally left. There wasn't much thinking, despite all my time having thought about this and also with having had bear encounters in the past. This one was definitely the most terrifying.

@@superchickensoup Well, let me explain this to you according to the leading of ( The Holy Ghost ) and it is so so so so unfortunate, when children or people die, but this is what happens when mankind disobeyed ( The Most High God ) and sin entered into the world. Ummmmmm my suggestion to you is for you to read the very book of Genesis, because when God created Adam & Eve, neither one of them was sick, had a cold, got headaches, vomited, there was no cancer, no lies being told & the Bible says, that everything that God made was good, and even when God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep, and removed one of Adam’s ribs to create Eve, Adam didn’t wake up needing codeine, or oxycodone or morphine 😳 so please stop blaming ( The Most High God ) because it will get you absolutely nowhere. ( Lord Jesus ) and maybe, just maybe, it hasn’t been revealed unto you exactly Who Jesus Christ Truly Is, but Jesus Christ Is The One True God, Who created both the heavens and the earth, and ( He ) came all the way from heaven to redeem mankind back unto ( Himself ) In Jesus Name. It is so. superchickensoup, I am so so sorry that you feel this way, but The Gospel Of Jesus Christ has already been preached, and God warned both Adam & Eve not to eat of that fruit & the rest as they say, is history, and ( the wages of sin is still death, but the gift of God is life eternal ) and here it is the year 2023 ( Christ Jesus ) could return and take back ( His ) bride at any moment & superchickensoup, then what ? 🙏🏾😞 Hmmmm and maybe you don’t understand that with the actual ( Body Of Christ ) once it gets taken out of the earth ( you think its bad now 😞🙏🏾 ) but hell will be unleashed on earth & the very book of The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, will go into effect, and ( The Holy Ghost ) but ( He ) has begun to reveal ( His ) word unto me & the stage is being set up, for the lawless one to appear ( which is the son of perdition ) so please just consider this message, because ( God The Most High ) but ( He ) will not change ( His ) word. 🙏🏾😞
