An American woman tried to separate two fighting dogs, one of them was a mountain lion

Dog owners know that it's hard to keep their precious dogs out of dogfights. Imagine the shock of a woman from Idaho when she found out that her dog was actually fighting a juvenile mountain lion.

The incident occurred early in the morning of January 30 when the woman found her dog fighting with another animal in front of their home. She had first thought that her dog was fighting another dog. However, when she tried to separate them, she realized that her dog was fighting a 15-kg mountain lion that had been walking around their Mackay neighborhood.

According to the fishing and fishing department of Idaho, the woman reportedly called her husband picks up your gun. He soon appeared on the scene and "shipped" the male mountain lion.

Idaho has a population of abundant mountain lions and such clashes between residents and wild animals are quite common. According to the website of the Fish and Game Department, three incidents of this type took place in January.
The website urged residents not to leave their pets unattended in the evenings, at night or early in the morning to avoid such attacks.

The incident sparked various reactions on social media. Many wondered how it was possible for a woman to confuse a mountain lion with a dog.

How do you confuse a dog with a gigantic cat?

However, some thought that the lion's shooting was unfortunate.

So sad that they shot down the mountain lion. We continue to encroach on their habitat and then kill them for acting in a natural way. It's time to live with nature and stop destroying it. Zoos are desperate to be the real helpers we could be … see them in the wild: for free. Peace!

According to some sources, the jogger would have stifled the lion of the mountains of 25 kg (80 pounds) with his bare hands.
