One bad mule...
This e-mail was sent to me by a friend;
A Montana couple was out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a mountain lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very bad decision... The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke loose... for the lion. As the lion approached the dogs, the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around, banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, then whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride... as if nothing had just happened. Fortunately, even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these ...

Some of the smartest riders I have ever ridden with were always put on mules.... for their own protection.

Wait... there's actually a publication entitled Western Mule Magazine? Now THAT I don't believe.

The mule guys cannot believe there is a group for 911's.
The mule OT forum today is talking about sending mules to Beirut. 'Let them try to kick THAT a$$' is the thread title, I believe....

Montana needs to keep a lower profile. That's a killer mule and 11 missing Egyptians in one day.

Well, if you believe the Snopes site, the mule was in Arizona, and 4 of the 11 Egyptians have been located in a massage parlor in New Jersey.

From Snopes
However, the text description accompanying these photographs is somewhat inaccurate, as Berry didn't actually kill the mountain lion — the mule picked it up and tossed it around only after it was already dead: The lion was dead before the mule Berry took and shook the lion. A lion is a powerful and lethal predator and can easily kill a mule — however a mule can be quite an adversary.

Snopes said it did happen, sort of, in Arizona.

 Bad mule ruins trophy Cougar hide, not quite as interesting.  Like having your dog chew up your duck.
