Dramatic video shows the moment a Canadian farm owner kicked into high gear to save her baby goat from a cougar attack.
Gina Moore’s harrowing security camera footage showed what could have been her Nigerian dwarf goat’s last moments, but Moore wasn’t having it.
Woman fights cougar with one swift kick
How It Started:
The video starts with several goats running through a barn, and then a cougar with its mouth and arms wrapped around another goat as it tries to get away. You can hear the goat screaming as the attack takes place.
Seconds later, Moore runs in, shouting at the big cat to get away before fighting it off with one swift kick.

What they're saying:
"I honestly was just running on adrenaline," she told Storyful. "I knew there was a chance that the cougar would turn on me so I’d better make whatever I did count."

Moore’s farm, located in British Columbia, has geese, cows, and four Nigerian dwarf goats, she said, named Leo, Mick, Donnie and Raff after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She bought them after losing a miniature horse to a black bear last year.
She said she takes protecting her animals very seriously, and it’s only been more recently that bears and cougars have begun hunting on her farm.
"Developments are pushing them out of their natural habitat," she said.
