From your friends at [url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/reserved-bc-couple-kept-to-themselves-until-cougar-messed-with-them/article14239223/]The Globe & Mail[/url]. [quote=MARK HUME AND ANDREA WOO]But Rick and Sandy, a couple who carved out a homestead in the British Columbia wilderness north of Tofino, on Vancouver Island, became international news this week when a cougar attacked her – and he ran to help, killing the animal with a 1.8-metre boar spear that he’d acquired to defend them. “The cougar had been haunting them for weeks … and he got the spear because of that,” said Dave Leblanc, a retired diver and long-time resident of Tofino. “He was working at his saw and for some reason he stopped and that’s when he heard her screaming for help,” said Mr. Leblanc. “He grabbed the spear as he was running towards her.” He described Rick as “quite dashing in his appearance” and others who know the couple have said Sandy is “a beautiful woman” who is 60 years old. Mr. Leblanc said the couple built a cabin in the forest at Cow Creek, on the West Coast of Flores Island, far from any roads or settlements, seeking a life of solitude in nature. “They were just really nice, quiet, reserved people,” Mr. Leblanc said. “They were just doing their thing out there and were happy.” “The ground was really disturbed as you’d expect from a person fighting for their life. There was obviously blood both from the human and the cougar,” he said. Sgt. York said the spear was found covered in blood – and nearby in the forest was the dead cougar.[/quote] Swords are just too high-tech.

Shit I can understand wanting to live naturally in the Vancouver Island backwoods, it is impossibly beautiful out there, second only to the foothills of the Rockies really
Cougars are assholes, whether it be real life, Red Dead Redemption, or wherever.
