Mounted search and rescue

[Una Smith <una.smith@att.net>]

The photos purporting to show a mule killing a mountain
lion are on the Snopes urban legend reference pages:
        http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/mulelion.asp

FWIW, I looked at them closely in a photo editor and I
think they are faked.  Some key shadows are questionable,
there are suspicious pixel pattern artifacts around the 
animals, the mountain lion isn't bleeding anywhere, and
in two photos the mountain lion has some man-made object
associated with it.  In fact, in one of the photos what
should be the mountain lion is something else.

Too bad.
