Summary
Security video from a farm near Nanaimo, British Columbia, shows Gina Moore running into an animal pen and kicking a cougar off a baby Nigerian dwarf goat.
The cougar had already pinned the kid when Moore intervened, and the force of the kick made the predator retreat; the goat survived the attack.
Moore said she knew the cougar could turn on her and acted in a split second, later saying adrenaline carried her through the encounter.
Moore, who lost a miniature horse to a black bear last year, said growing development may be pushing wildlife closer to rural homes and farms.
