The article I read today is called Boulder man kills mountain lion attacking puppy. I found this article in the Denver Post. This article talks about how a man in Boulder, Colorado shot a mountain lion at 1:30 am in his backyard. He only shot the mountain lion to save himself and his puppy. I personally think that he shot the mountain lion to protect mostly himself. It said in the article that the mountain lion started to make its way towards the armed man. So he shouldn't be charged for shooting the lion to protect his dog. He should get off the case because he was protecting himself on his own property. Its just like for example if a man was in your house armed and you found him in your room and you were also armed, you have every right to shoot him because you can die and its on your own property. So my question to this article is should the man be charged for shooting the lion to protect him and his dog, or get off the case for protecting himself from death on his own property?
