Metallica乌鸦传媒檚 乌鸦传媒淒on乌鸦传媒檛 Tread On Me乌鸦传媒� was already on Dee Gallant乌鸦传媒檚 favourites乌鸦传媒� playlist.
Now, it must be at the very top after the song helped her scare off a cougar.
Gallant, who乌鸦传媒檚 from Chemainus, was walking her husky, Murphy, on July 23 on a logging road south of Duncan when a cougar appeared and moved toward them.
乌鸦传媒淚 just had the feeling I was being watched,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淚 looked over to the right and there he was.
乌鸦传媒滻 looked at him and said, 乌鸦传媒楬ey, you! Stop it!乌鸦传媒� and he stopped. That乌鸦传媒檚 when I started filming.乌鸦传媒�
She kept the video going for what she said seemed like several minutes, starting down the animal. She can be heard yelling: 乌鸦传媒淕et out of here!乌鸦传媒� 乌鸦传媒淏ad kitty!乌鸦传媒� 乌鸦传媒淕o on, get!乌鸦传媒� 乌鸦传媒淚乌鸦传媒檒l fight you!乌鸦传媒�
But none of it worked, so she pulled out the heavy artillery.
乌鸦传媒淚 quickly riffled through my iTunes and found Metallica乌鸦传媒檚 乌鸦传媒楧on乌鸦传媒檛 Tread On Me,乌鸦传媒櫸谘淮綕 she said. 乌鸦传媒淎s soon as it started to play, he buggered off into the bush.
乌鸦传媒淎s soon as he turned sideways, I saw how big he was.乌鸦传媒�
Gallant said she乌鸦传媒檚 seen cougars before, and that neither she nor her dog were scared.
乌鸦传媒淚 guess he didn乌鸦传媒檛 want to eat anything that leaves a Metallica taste in his mouth,乌鸦传媒� she joked.
She乌鸦传媒檚 been inundated with calls from the news media to tell her story about a new method for frightening cougars.
The experience has her thinking about creating a wildlife playlist, with maybe some selections from John Cougar Mellencamp, Def Leppard and the Stray Cats 乌鸦传媒� to name a few.
Gallant is a regular player in the annual Georgina Falt Memorial Mind Games Music Trivia tournament in Duncan, organized by Don Bodger of Black Press Media as a benefit for the Alzheimer Society of B.C.
