Logger Fired for Feeding a Starving Mountain Lion Cub, But He Says He'd Do It Again Deep in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia, a newly hired logger was specifically tasked with scouting ahead to identify wildlife habitats before the chainsaws moved in. When he stumbled upon an active mountain lion den, he warned his crew to steer clear, successfully protecting the mother and her cubs for nearly a year. However, the logging company eventually ran out of other trees to cut and ordered the crew to push into the restricted zone anyway. Within just a week of the habitat destruction, the mother mountain lion completely vanished, leaving her tiny, helpless cub alone at the den to slowly starve. Refusing to just stand by and watch the baby suffer, the logger took matters into his own hands and began secretly leaving food out to keep the orphaned mountain lion alive. A photographer captured a deeply moving shot of the man kneeling right beside the wild cub, and the heartwarming image quickly went viral across the internet. Unfortunately, his employers didn't share the public's appreciation; they fired him just days later for "interfering with wildlife". Still, the heroic logger has absolutely no regrets, telling supporters: "I'd rather lose my job than watch a baby starve".
