Don't rile the Donkey

Subject: Fwd: Bad Mule ( Don't rile the Donkey)

A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle
and she (fortunately) with her camera.
Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion
decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the
background watching).
Very, very bad decision...

The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the
air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion
charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs.
With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that
lion.
That's when all hell broke loose... for the lion.
As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail
and started whirling him around, banging its head on the ground on every
pass.
Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the
throat.
The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a
couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, then whipped it into the air
again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence)
and stood there ready to continue his ride... as if nothing had just
happened.


Fortunately even though the hunter didn't get off a shot,
his wife got off these 4 pictures below..

[img] Sorry, I don't know how to transfer the pictures which show the Mule killing the mountain lion. Is there anyone I can email them to, who can put them on the web site?[img]
