re: Badass of the Year Nominee: Guy kills a lion with his bare hands, to protect family (PICS)

Fake

That long stick resting below the lion's head makes me think it was used as a weapon to inflict some damage on that big cat.

He’s going to have a bad case of cat scratch fever.

It has been done. There are historical examples of it. But there’s always extenuating circumstances. Like in general, lions don’t attack people the same as wolves don’t attack people unless they’re rabid or starving or suck and already dying

There are no sonics in Africa.

So you OT baws are safe from that badass cardboard cast wearing dude.

What am I saying? There isn’t any OT Baw in Africa either.

that was a huge blow to his pride

If he survived a minute with a lion, she needs to look way down to get that info

There is zero chance a human being killed a male lion with his bare hands. Maybe the lion was sick? Even then, a human isn’t strong enough to strangle or punch through the tough skin/fat layer of a lion.
I do think a human could choke out a lion. But that would only work if the lion allowed the human to do it. Now in a real fight, no that won't happen.

told this on here before, my great grandmother was coming home from a quilting bee on horseback one night and a panther jumped on her horse right in front of the saddle between her and sort of on the horse's neck, she always carried a set of big sewing shears in her hand when she rode at night and she just began stabbing it until she killed it, it was speculation after the panther was examined the next day that it was probably very weak and sick, probably looking for an easy meal

3 pages and not one Amistad reference?

Absolute bullshite. That lion could have killed that dude with one blow to the head. What did he do? fricking mount it and choke it out?
