Mom Fights off Mountain Lion That Was Attacking Her 7-Year-Old Son

By The Blaze. A Canadian mother didn’t hesitate to fight off a mountain lion that she found attacking her 7-year-old son in the family’s yard in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia.

The boy’s father, Kevin Bromley, told Global News that his wife, Chelsea Bromley, saved their son’s life when she jumped on top of the wild cat that had pinned her son to the ground.

“She jumped on top of this thing, but it just wouldn’t let go of Zack’s forearm, so she then had to pry this cougar’s jaw open,” Kevin Bromley said. “She told me she couldn’t do it for two or three seconds, but then she screamed ‘help’ and it just let go and ran off. And there was blood everywhere.” . . .

On Friday afternoon, Chelsea reportedly heard some commotion outside her home where Zack was playing. The Bromleys live in a gated community near a waterfront.

When Chelsea walked outside to investigate, she saw the young cat’s jaws clamped down on Zack’s arm. (Read more from “Mom Fights off Mountain Lion That Was Attacking Her 7-Year-Old Son” HERE)

By Global News. Seven-year-old Zack sustained injuries to his head, neck and arm in the attack, which happened Friday afternoon just outside of town while the boy’s mother was inside. . .

Bromley said Zack had gone to the waterfront outside their home, which is in a gated community on the west side of town near the Lakeview Park campground when a small cougar came at him. . .

Bromley said the hoodie Zack was wearing helped protect him from the cougar’s thrashing, but the animal then clamped its jaws on the boy’s forearm. That’s when his mom, Chelsea, heard the struggle and came rushing to her son’s rescue.

“She jumped on top of this thing, but it just wouldn’t let go of Zack’s forearm so she then had to pry this cougar’s jaw open,” Bromley said.

“She told me she couldn’t do it for two or three seconds but then she screamed ‘help,’ and it just let go and ran off. And there was blood everywhere.” (Read more from “Mother of Boy Mauled in Vancouver Island Cougar Attack Helped Fight Animal Off” HERE)
