They did rescue the cats siblings so they could just weight them for comparison.
They will release them when they are more capable of taking down a human presumably.

A runner was attacked by a wild animal. Who WOULDN'T have fought in self-defense, even if it was only a squirrel? It would have happened so quickly, too, and "fight or flight" would have instantly become "fight" for 99.9% of us, were we in the same position. And that 0.1% of opinionated tree-huggers? FOOLZ.
Would this have been a "feel good" story to the foolz had the juvenile attacker been bigger? It would likely have been a horror story about a grievously injured man, or a dead man. Oh, I forgot, as it played out, a little wild kitty, one of God's loving creatures, was murdered, so for some it IS a horror story. Where are the snot rags for those sobbing somebodies?

Your assumption is WRONG. The bigger they are, the longer it takes to get up to speed. A small animal is like a sports car--off and at speed fast. A large animal is like a semi-truck--it takes more time to get up to speed.
A sports car and a semi-truck might have an engine with comparable horsepower. The sports car maybe weighs 2500 pounds and the truck weighs maybe 10,000. So you have the same motor but 4 times the weight. Of course it will be slower. A 5-pound cat and a 30-pound lion are vastly different. The 30-pound lion is going to have much more powerful muscles.
So, you believe that muscle equates to speed. The greater the muscle, the greater the speed. LOL.

That’s why a 150lb cheetah can reach 50mph in two seconds, right?

According to Sally, more muscle = more speed. So a 600 pound lion would reach 50mph faster than a wimpy cheetah.

It's mostly true with cats. With one exception.

Actually it probably does reach its own top speed faster. Plenty of video of Lions surprising cheetahs and having no trouble catching them.

But this was a lion kitten , if you threw a ball of yarn at him , he would of jumped on the ball of yarn, and everything avoided .
Would of?
You guys don't think the runner is tough??
My border collie is 45 pounds, average for breed, and although they are gentle they would absolutely fvck up anyone who gave their owner trouble. Tell me you would happily fight off an angry animal that size.

I really dont know why people are even talking about this, regarding that it was not an adult lion. I dont think there is anyone out there ( I know I would not want any part of this) that would want to tangle with a 40-45 pound mountain lion cub, that thing could tear you to shreds.
IT IS NOT A LION! Why do American media keep referring to it as a “lion” when it clearly isn’t? This cat is more commonly known as a ‘cougar’ or ‘puma’ and, less often, as a ‘mountain lion’. And yet, all the articles about this incident haven’t used its correct names even once. A real ? would’ve killed that skinny runner with one swipe. Stop calling it a “lion”. Aaaargh! So irritating.

Not as irritating as a keyboard Kenyan.
It is very much a lion. That's just one of the myriad names for it.

So including three attacks on Vancouver Island (world capital of cougar attacks) in 2017/18, there were five attacks in the Pacific Northwest in two years, two of them fatal. A third potentially fatal attack was deterred by killing the cougar with a knife. None of these were attacks on runners, but with trail running exploding around the PNW, it may be just a matter of time. I for one will be carrying a knife from now on.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
