Father Saves Son From Cougar

"They had fallen on the ground and the cougar still had its jaws around Paul's head so I jumped on the cougar's chest with both feet."

Paul Krismer, of British Columbia, recounted the recent camping experience he had with his family.

Mr. Krismer along with wife Rosemary Abram and sons Paul Allen, 4, and David, 8, had been enjoying a nice camping trip at Shoen Lake campground. The peaceful family trip was interrupted when a cougar suddenly snuck up and clamped young Paul Allen's head in it's jaws, according to Can/West News Service.

"I just ran down this fallen log to where Paul was," reported the dad.

The cougar reportedly released its grip on 4-year-old Paul Allen after Mr. Krismer monkey-stomped it's chest and delivered a few kicks. The defeated animal ran off to the woods.

Paul Allen suffered one serious puncture wound in addition to some minor scratches, but is alright and recovering according to reports.

The father says Paul Allen is "coping very well" and had this to say the following morning;

"'Dad, could we camp somewhere else?'"

That's a tough kid and dad.

5\5 for the dad being brave.
I feel kinda bad for the cougar though, can you imagine how painful that must have been, a man jumping on your chest.

according to our Intellegence the Al Qaeda planted the cougar there...
this, beyond any reasonable doubt, is a terrorist attack...
we must clear the forests with haste to destroy their hiding ground, and...i don't know...build a factory to stimulate the economy in that area by hiring chea....i mean local labor
the terrorists' continuous attempts to destroy our capitalist lifestyle shall not succeed!!!

Yeah well, in the US they could sue the cougar for aggravated assault and sexual-conduct with a minor... even though the dad probably hang raw beef and cat-nip on the boys head.

...Thank god it happened in Canada.
(P.S.: I was joking so please no bashing)

Nothing like a a little cop to make you feel better.

man against beast! AWESOME DAD! When I saw the headlines, I sort of of pictured a guy with rippling muscles wrestling with the cougar - tarzan style, and prying it's jaws open. But still this Dad was cool. He loved his son so much that he put his life on the line and attacked the cougar. Real ordinary hero.

Wow, this is nuts! I'm in Victoria for school (3 hours south) but I'm from Campbell River!

Cougar attacks aren't uncommon. Maybe once a year or so on humans. A buddy of mine, a practicing black belt, kicked an approaching cougar in the face and drove it away back around 1994 or so.

About moving to BC, even in a small remote town such as Campbell River, I'm never worried about cougars.

Big news, wow.
