This sign was posted on the way into the forest.

"If you encounter a lion at close range:"

"Remain calm - do not run."

Don't be scared of the nice kitty.

"Pick up small children immediately."

Offer one as a sacrifice.

"Stand upright, maintain eye contact, back away slowly."

Or, lock yourself in an ankle trap.  It worked for Kim Bauer.

"Be assertive - if approached, wave your arms, speak firmly or shout, and throw sticks or rocks."

Wave 'em like you just don't care.

"If attacked, fight back aggressively."

It's funny to think of how far removed we are from the times when it wasn't unusual for people to have to defend themselves from animals.  I'm sure back then, no one had to be told to "fight back aggressively" if they were attacked by a mountain lion.
