Bad Ass!
      #25142 - 25/01/05 04:46 PM

"These pics came from a guy in AZ. Yes, the mule killed the mountain lion. The lion had been stalking them for the better part of the morning, on the way out to a hunt. They were pretty sure it was after one of the dogs. The cat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its rider and went into attack (defense) mode, the horses scattered and shots were fired but no one was sure if they hit the cat or not. Unfortunately, it wasn't until it was almost over that one of the guys started snapping pics. The mule finally stomped the cougar to death after biting and throwing it around like a rag doll. The dogs wouldn't even come close until the mule settled down.


The cat was still alive here and trying to fight back

The mule stomped the cat then pinned it to the ground and bit the heck out of the dead cat several more times.

The cat was pretty much dead by now then mule picked up the cat again whipped it
into the air again then stomped the dead cat again for good measure!

Note the dog audience.... Gives new meaning to the term "BAD ASS"

This is a normal outcome if a mule or horse is attacked by a cougar or wolf or mountain lion or coyotes or dogs. Equines kick butt and are rarely lost to predators.

This deserves a bump back to the top.

In the States, we have a real problem with coyotes and mountain lions are also becoming a problem.

Coyotes will travel solitary or in groups, and will decimate smaller livestock and newborn horses.

My sister has a farm in West Virginia, with horses and a few smaller critters. One of the first things in her farm collection was a mule. I asked her if she was trying to make a statement.

She explained to me that mules, and donkeys, are better than a pack of Rotweillers. She said they would kill any predator coming into their range.

And there are more than a few coyote carcasses on her farm to support that.

A stallion will also do the same thing. But most stallions are turned into geldings due to their aggressive nature. A mule cares not. It is sterile, which is probably why it kicks ass.

Hate to pour cold water, gents, however:
In reply to:

The lion was dead before the mule Berry took and shook the lion. A lion is a powerful and lethal predator and can easily kill a mule — however a mule can be quite an adversary.




The true story is here:
