Self-Defense in a Wildlife Attack: No Gun? Use This

By Doug Howlett
It wasn’t with a gun, and it wasn’t against a predator of the two-legged kind, but it is one heck of a self-defense tale—or at the very least, a story of defense of man’s best friend.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is investigating a remarkable incident near Cañon City, where a man reportedly killed a mountain lion with nothing more than a shovel to protect himself and his dog. According to a report from Fox 31 News, the encounter took place late on the night of Thursday, September 26, when a CPW officer responded to a campground west of Cañon City. Upon arrival, the officer was met by a man who had the carcass of a dead mountain lion sprawled across the hood of his Jeep.

The man explained that he was sitting outside his car with his husky when they noticed a mountain lion approaching. His dog, a husky, quickly sensed the danger and began barking and growling at the predator, which continued to close in, eventually coming within about 10 feet of the pair. It was at this point that the husky, unwilling to back down, engaged the mountain lion.

Fearing for both his life and the life of his dog, the man grabbed the only weapon within reach—a shovel—and struck the mountain lion in the head. The blow proved fatal. While mountain lion attacks on humans are rare in Colorado, the man felt he had no other option, saying the lion had acted “unusual and extremely aggressive.”
Remarkably, neither the man nor his dog was seriously injured during the encounter, but that mountain lion sure was, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife is treating the incident as an act of self-defense.
