Woman riding a donkey fights off lion with machete

ACAPULCO, Mexico - A Mexican woman said she fought a 500-pound lion with a machete near the resort city of Acapulco and scared him away. Celsa Aleman said she and her 7-year-old niece were riding a donkey Monday along a road when the lion went after the animal's legs.

The 35-year-old woman says she found the courage to fight the lion because she thought it would attack her niece. She hit the animal with a machete until the beast ran away. Aleman and her niece were unharmed.

The state government said in a statement that the lion had escaped from a private zoo owned by a former local congressman.

It said the animal killed two dogs and ate a pig before it was sedated and taken back to the zoo




OK...how many people here would have the balls to fight off a 500-lb LION with a blasted machete, riding a f*cking donkey!?!?!?!?!

and she was making torillas at the same time. BADASS!

If my seed was in danger,I'd fight Satan - IN HELL - to protect it. So I'm not shocked that she got her warrior on, that's what's she supposed to do to protect her own.

Tough lady.


And to think, some women won't walk down a quiet suburban street at night because it's too scary.....

For my babies he'd be lucky to still have his head -I'm laughing but I'm dead serious!

Wow! Satan... on "his own turf?" I know that's right! I am not a terribly macho type, but if a lion started some $@#!! with my 7-year-old, at least one of us would have to meet our maker that day.

I'd love to know why old girl just happened to have a machete at her disposal, though. Is that what sisters are packing in those oversized bags these days?

People in the countryside are rough & tough. Just about anyone knows how to use a machete. I remember as a kid when I'd visit Honduras, there'd be women selling coconuts on the side of the street. They'd pull one out, hold it in one hand, and hack an opening in it with a machete using the other hand, like it was a Black-&-Decker can opener & sh*t.

A few years back I was in Brooklyn and found a store that sold fresh (green) coconuts. I bought one and brought it home. I pulled out a machete that my dad bought me from Honduras as a souvenir, and tried to do the same thing.

I nearly sliced into my hand as the coconut went flying across the room. I couldn't do it, so I wound up punching a hole into it with a carving knife.

Moral of the story; don't try to impress your woman by wielding a machete unless you want to lose your dignity AND a limb.

...and always take those country women & their machetes SERIOUSLY!!!!!
