The lion had been stalking them for the better part of the morning, on the way out to a hunt. The cat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its rider and we nt 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. T he 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 mul e settled down.
View Replies To: DogBarkTree Okay, I'll bite: Pictures have been doctored. Mule's ears not far enough back for a bloody fight in at least one of the pics. Dogs standing back and suffering the shame of being protected by a mule i nstead of joining the fun. Just another Dem trying to get credit for effective, bold action.
View Replies To: Bommer Happy to see this posted again so I can save the pictures, I have told fo lks about it. I am impressed on a couple of levels, now if we could train them to be Bo rder Guards...
No dog of mine would ever be found sitting around when something that exc iting was going on. They'd be running around, barking, or doing somethin g intensely, depending on the kind of dog and training.

View Replies To: DogBarkTree In the 60's, in Modoc County California, I rode out about 10 miles into t he Lava Beds National Monument. It is a dry desolate, Nevada desert look ing country about 5000 feet. I was alone, bareback, on a middle age gray mare that had come from the K lamath Indian Reservation. Following a jeep trail, there are still no fe nces out there, I came to a fork in the road and a larger than average s agebrush. The mare stopped abruptuptly and began to shake uncontrollably . The mare would not go a ny direction except toward home. If I hadn't held her back, she would ha ve run home probably leaving me there! I never turned around to see if something was following me or not. Old timers told me it was a marking post for a cat's territory. Dad killed two bears not many miles from there, but there were cats every where. My brother scared one out of the haybarn just last year.
View Replies To: DogBarkTree BOGUS STORY This story was posted here before (a couple of months ago). The pictures show a cat that was already dead, having been caught in a tr ap, and the mule was playing with the corpse.

View Replies To: spinestein Bump--I think it's a fake, also. From Snopes: "Origins: We don't yet have any leads on when, where, or by whom these pi ctures were taken, so we can't say anything definitive about what they d epict. It's quite possible that, as often happens, the photographs are real, but someone has fabricated an inaccurate description to accompany them. For example, in the first picture the mountain lion appears to have a trap and/or chain fastened to one of its legs, and none of the photographs co nvincingly demonstrates that the big cat was alive at the time the pictu res were taken. It might be, therefore, that the mountain lion had alrea dy been caught and killed by other means, and this sequence of photograp hs simply shows the equine picking up its lifeless body.
View Replies To: Charlespg A mule OR a donkey WILL attack a mountain lion. They will ALSO attack any thing that resembles a dog/coyote/wolf. They will attack anything that i s in 'their' acreage, that doesn't belong. They will NOT quit until the 'threat' is DEAD or run off.
View Replies To: Battle Axe We had a German Shepard when I was growing up that growled for hours unde r the house until we got up, then the Dog got brave and attacked the cat , initially the cougar ran and our dog bit it's back leg, it went down h ill for our Shepard from there. The cat limped away but we had to carry the dog back, three days later though the dog was pretty much back to no rmal with battle scars and he did other dumb things after that. I always loved that dogs spirit, he seemed to win more than he lost, but after he was healed up he was not impressed and would launch in the full attack mode when needed. maybe the same or a nother cat or one of the local mules? Years later he d ied blind and toothless at the ripe old age of 12 and I buried him on to p of a small mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I can still hear th e sound of his big ol tail wagging and hitting something.
View Replies To: TexasTransplant I had a mule a few years ago that would toss the rider (mainly me) anytim e a dog came within ten feet of us and then he would go after the dog. A lot of people around here keep mules or donke ys in with their cattle to keep the wild dogs and coyotes away. They are pretty tough critter s and not as spooky and timid as horses. I never was able to break him f rom tossing me in the presense of dogs and ended up selling him. The lad y I sold him too was a Vet/Trainer and had two large sons that trained t he hard cases. I've bro ken and trained a lot of horses and never ran up on a horse that bucked as hard as that little mule. LOL I got too old to keep flying through th e air and landing on my back.
