Metallica Sent A Cougar Running

In 2019, a Canadian woman named Dee Gallant was walking her dog, Murphy, along a logging road near Duncan, British Columbia, when a cougar began approaching them. Shouting, waving her arms, and calling it a "bad kitty" made the animal pause but did not drive it away. Gallant played "Don't Tread on Me" by Metallica at full volume, and the cougar fled into the bushes as soon as the first notes sounded. She kept the song playing on a loop for the rest of the hike.
