New border patrol

I opened my email to find this interesting story.

This is one bad ass. 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.

"I'd like to think our dog Wyatt would have come to our defense in the same situation, I just can't imagine keeping a mule in the backyard for protection.......you haven't heard? .....Rumors have been circulating that a cougar has been on the prowl here in the far western suburbs of Minneapolis. Leave it to MSM to print rumor before fact.

Sleep well, and don't forget to cover your ass...........er, mule.
