Woman, 80, Shoots Lion to Protect Dog
The Associated Press / January 8, 2008
Acting to protect her dog, 80-year-old Martha Smith killed a mountain lion at her home along French Creek near Fairburn. She missed with her first shot, went into the house to call 911, then went back outside with a .22-caliber rifle.
"And he was a spittin' and a growlin'," said Smith. "All I saw was flashing eyes and teeth. And I knew I was gonna have to kill him if I could."
Smith, who lives alone, said she'd like to have the lion mounted, but doubts the state Department of Game, Fish & Parks will return the carcass to her.

This, in fact, is I think what our Founding Fathers meant with the 2nd Amendment.
I'm sorry for the Lion but I would do the same for Zach.
