Cougar attacks pipeline worker in Alberta

EDMONTON — Mounties shot a cougar after it attacked a pipeline worker in western Alberta on Friday.

Alberta’s justice department said the cougar attacked the man around 3 p.m. about 90 km south of Grande Prairie. A co-worker came to his rescue and was able to stop the attack.

The workers called 911 and Mounties responded and killed a cougar near the scene of the attack.

Fish and wildlife department officers are using DNA analysis to try to confirm the dead cougar is the same one that injured the pipeline workers.

Their injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening.

When are we going to be allowed to exercise our right to defend ourselves from large predators in the bush, by legal open carry of sidearms - not to mention conceal carry to defend ourselves from the two legged predators, elsewhere!?

You already can if you work in the bush. Get a job on bear watch and have at 'er.

The cougar was protecting its rights, I expect to see more of nature fighting back. They will always lose to superior fire power, but Momma will win in the end. We ain't got nothing to compare with her raw power.

I wonder if that was the same one that attacked a dog within the last few weeks. The dog is struggling to stay alive.

It's very unusual for a mountain lion to attack an adult male. They almost always steer clear of people. People are bad juju. There must be more to this story than we know.

There usually is, but the media is only interested in creating a sense of fear and killing the animal was just what the doctor ordered.

Been lots of them. One in Port Alice took a guy off his bike as he was riding from the mill back to town. Another in the same area took on a hiker on the logging road. Guy managed to kill it with a pocket knife. Neither cat was starving either.

Completely unacceptable !!! Death to nature !!!

The snow is too deep in the back country. Where did you people come from?

Be at one with nature creep.

It is treated like a rabid dog after it attacks a person, it will hunt them after that. Your bush stories all bull**** or is you cabin the first turn from the 4 laner?

It's illegal to kill mountain lions in California except to defend your person or family. I hike alone through the Santa Cruz Mountains which have a growing population of mountain lions. Occasionally, I come upon a kill or scat alerting me to its presence. Sometimes I get a strange feeling of being watched. But I still see no reason to fear the cats. They avoid adult males...even old ones.

Something must have been wrong with those cats. Very odd behavior.

The snow is too deep in the back country....

It snows in the Santa Cruz Mountains about once every twenty years, but the snow is gone in a day or so.

Where did you people come from?...

My ancestors originated in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa. But our territory expanded.

They might not eat your dick, the rest is good.

What part of deep snow in the back country in Alberta is escaping you? The forestry should set up roadkill sides and the Province can donate the dogs and cats and cows and horses that die over the next months, set it up as a yearly thing if heavy snow. Feeding them by chopper in the back country will keep them out of residential area where the dogs and cats go missing and so do toddlers if left unattended.

Explains the drouth.

Getting deeper too, how long before there is ocean front property.

So if it's attacking your friend or your enemy you are not allowed to kill them?

I know nothing about mountain lions, but I do know you don't take cougars for granted. I'm not sure if "fear" is the right word, but you definitely want to be aware of them and be prepared for them to attack. Several people in B.C. have been attacked in the past few years and one woman was killed near Princeton, she more or less sacrificed herself to save her 12 year old son.

You obviously, did me quoting you throw your thinking off? (more than usual)

Coming from the king of BS, I'll take that as a compliment. I live off the end of a dirt road and the nearest 4 laner is in Vernon, about 3 hours away.

The cat was killed because it tasted human blood. Like I said somebody from the bush would know that. That why bears that kill and eat people are not taken to any place but a burial pit.
