Photos of this mountain lion made the round online during the spring of ’07. Supposedly it was shot up north near Walkerton, Ontario, targeted after it had killed some cattle. The grow ‘em big (the lion, not the cattle) in Canada as the ranchers said this one had friends.

That’s a cat worth being nice to. Or shooting. Preferably the latter. Congrats to the hunter – I think there are some happy deer as well as cattle if the story holds true.
What a big brave man! I’m sure that when the mountain lion had you in it’s sites, I’m sure that it was a close draw…you know, who shot first (and) all. Did you know that in the last twenty years we have had the largest amount of mountain lions killed EVER?!? I’m sure you don’t care, and after reading this you’ll probobly go back to watching nascar or whatever (wonderful cultural hobbies you partake in). In closing, remember this, I grew up on a ranch, (and) have had multiple nonviolent interactions with felis concolor. To call them a “menace”, or a “problem” is a crock of (finely churned butter). Who was living here first, and if you felt strongly enough about it, rock salt works (insert uncreative term here) wonders.
