Denver Post update on Colorado mountain lion attack on trail runner
[Denver Post] The shocking tale of survival on Larimer County's Horsetooth Mountain quickly spread far beyond Colorado, with news of Monday's attack prompting media calls from around the world, as well as suggestions of film and book deals, and even marriage proposals, Ferrell said. Gov. Jared Polis chimed in too, posting on his Facebook page: "Don't mess with Colorado trail runners."

#2 Feed it the nearest hippy. It's less humane than shooting it but it teaches the other hippies an important life lesson. Nature hates them.

Because of course; this is a very rare event. Mountain Lion attacks do not happen often either.

I was not aware that mountain lions read Facebook.
