Did she get mauled in Germany?

That's why the brothers only like snow bunnies.

Great pic, beautiful kitty.

Poor decision making.

She thought the cat would make a nice dinner. The cat thought likewise.

People have been doing stupid stuff for a picture long before like and subscribe.

My own idiot mother chased a mama bear off the 11 mile loop path (Cade’s Cove) to take pics of the babies back in the late 80s… we all were sure she was a goner. One of the scariest days of my life.

She lived, got the pictures too.

Not me, my aunt or my grandmother talked to her all the way back to the house in Maryville. Not a single word was said.

Dumb as it was to approach within 10 feet, it seems even dumber that she then turned her back on it to take the selfie... if I had to guess, that was the last straw.

Reminds me of the anecdote that workers in India wear a facemask on the back of their heads to discourage tiger attacks.

There are scores of vids with professionals who actually know the cats and show how dangerous it is to turn your back. Even cheetahs can get aggressive if you make it that inviting.

Hell, I don't even turn my back on my mini-panther I have here in my house.

Little shite will have his claws in to your leg the moment you do.

Did she realize afterwards how fricking stupid she was or apologize?

That’s literally the number 1 scenario where bears maul humans. Sow protecting cubs.

Your mother doesn’t sound very bright.

Not really, she was headstrong as hell back then. I think we talked about it a few years ago and she finally admitted some fault.

She wasn't. She was young, dumb and in search of a photo no one else dared to take. She's matured some since then.

Maybe I'll link her this thread and show her she's STILL catching shite about it 30/35 years later.

That's fantastic. You can see the leopard is ready to pounce like a loaded spring

Victim has been identified as 25 year old Ki Ki No.

She probably did later, but wouldn't cop to it.
