This guy has to be a getbigger
http://www.canada.com/kills+cougar+that+badly+mauls+partner/8893839/story.htmlIn what may be a British Columbia first, a Flores Island man has speared a cougar that mauled the man's 60-year-old partner.
Sgt. Ben York of the B.C. Conservation Service said the woman was working outside the couple's rural cabin at Cow Bay on Sunday around 6 p.m. when she was attacked. Her commonlaw partner ran to her aid, picking up a spear with a foot-long blade on the way.
"He used the spear to drive the cougar off the woman," York said.
A preliminary site examination found the cougar's body about 20 metres away from the attack.
"It appears it died as a result of wounds from being speared by the lady's partner. This might be a first in B.C. that somebody fought off and killed a cougar with a spear," York said.
A necropsy may reveal why the cougar attacked and more about how it died. The man believed he had speared the animal in its side and behind the shoulder, York said.
There are no legal ramifications for the man's defense of his partner, York said.
The woman suffered lacerations and bites to her head and was also injured on an arm, York said.
She was taken by boat to Tofino by the Coast Guard Search and Rescue from Tofino's lifeboat station, then transported by helicopter to Victoria General Hospital. She spent a "fair bit of time" in the operating room Sunday night, but is expected to recover, York said.
