Ranches Of The West

What would you do if you learned a mountain lion killed your mother’s 30 years old jackass?

This is not a joke. My Mother lives on a small farm surrounded by ranch land in West Texas; and she is barely able to walk. She does have dogs to protect her house and someone staying with her most of the time, but I am very concerned.

I am sorry for your mom’s loss and declining health. I would have to say talk her into to moving closer to you or closer to the city. If she is in bad health perhaps she might consider moving. It would be safer and easier on her health wise and also bring you some comfort. I would not go after the lion, it is nature, as sad as we think it is, survival is the only thing that lion knows. He did not kill the donkey for the thrill of it, as man does, but simply because he was hungry. I hope you consider this and not any kind of revenge killing, the lion only felt hunger, not hate.
