That makes 2 of us, honestly who would have known what you did anyway. A taurus judge or similar would be sufficient.

The victim ran away from the cat.  Never a good idea.  But packing some firepower in a known big cat, or bear area, would have saved, what had to be a horrible death.

Looks like one of them attempted to fight back by hitting it with his bike. Also sounds like something was wrong with the cat as it was reported as being very under weight for its age. Will be interesting to see what they find after they test it.

I seen plenty of cats in my time out west and they sure are some creepy animals. The way they will stalk you for miles will send chills down your back. I was always carrying weapons so I wasn’t too worried but it’s never a fun feeling when you find out you’ve been followed all day by a cat and you didn’t know about it until way later.
