My Mother sent these pics and story to me in an email and so I thought I would post it here as I found it to be an amazing story.

"These pics came from a guy in AZ. Yes, the mule killed the mountainlion. The lion had been stalking them for the better part of the morning, onthe way out to a hunt. They were pretty sure it was after one of the dogs. The cat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its rider and went into attack (defense) mode, the horses scattered and shots were fired but no one was sure if they hit the cat or not.
Unfortunately, it wasn't until it was almost over that one of the guys started snapping pics.

The mule finally stomped the cougar to death after biting and throwingit around like a rag doll. The dogs wouldn't even come close until the mule settled down.

The cat was still alive here and trying to fight back. The mule stomped the cat then pinned it to the ground and bit the heck out of the dead cat several more times.

The cat was pretty much dead by now then mule picked up the cat again whipped it into the air again then stomped the dead cat again for good measure!

Note the dog audience. . . Gives new meaning to the phrase "BAD A$$" "
