Oh Chef, oh boy! A truly courageous Canadian farm owner kicked into full hero mode after a cougar grabbed one of her Nigerian dwarf goats—and the whole heart-racing rescue was caught on security camera.
The Farm Rescue Caught on Camera
According to local reports, Gina Moore of Nanaimo, British Columbia, jumped into action when a cougar attacked one of her Nigerian dwarf goats earlier this month. The footage shows the big cat gripping the goat before Moore runs in, shouts, kicks the cougar and chases it away.
We do not know what kind of adrenaline unlocked in that exact second, but whatever it was, give it a cape, a farm boot and a lifetime supply of animal crackers.
One minute you are minding your Canadian farm business. The next minute you are entering hand-to-paw combat because your baby goat needs you. Mother Nature was not ready for Gina.

Gina Moore Was Not Letting That Cougar Win
The video is intense, so consider this a gentle warning before pressing play. It begins with goats scattering through a barn area before the cougar locks onto one of them. Seconds later, Moore appears, yelling at the animal and moving fast enough that the whole scene shifts.
Global News reported that Moore’s protective instincts kicked in when the cougar attacked the goat at her Nanaimo farm. The footage shows Moore shouting before giving the cougar a mighty kick and chasing it away.
A Tiny Goat, a Big Cat and a Very Brave Owner
Nigerian dwarf goats may be small, but anyone who loves animals knows size has nothing to do with how quickly you move when one of them is in trouble.
Moore knew there was real danger in running toward a cougar, but the instinct to protect her animal clearly won. It is the kind of moment that makes your heart jump into your throat and then somehow asks for a standing ovation afterward.
