Pffft this is so freaking stupid - on my feature video it says mountain lions don't look on us as prey - in fact instead of running they stay very still hoping you'll just move on - they think their invisible because they blend in with their surroundings which is very sad as the dumb-ass hunters think their so cool to kill a lion so close up

@pottiesss He went out in the woods with the intention of killing - he got just what he deserved.

Best idea would be protect animals instead of killing them...
