Office Spam™

the mule stomped the cat then pinned it to the ground and bit the heck out of the dead cat several more times

the cat was prtty much dead by now then the mule picked up the cat again whipped it into the air again then stomped the dead cat again for good measure!

note the dog audience... Gives new meaning to the phrase "Bad Ass"

And he was in full tack!

Ouch !

Snopes says the story is true but not accurate.

"The lion was dead before the mule Berry took and shook the lion. A lion is a powerful and lethal predator and can easily kill a mule — however a mule can be quite an adversary."

Wow, that is one small lion... I was kind of expecting something well, more Lion king like, heh...
but that is one kick ass mule, excuse the pun.

From a website that knows mules.

Yes, a mule will attack a predator in this fashion. This is the same way a donkey would attack a dog or coyote, which is what makes (some) donkeys good guard animals. The photos are very graphic, but do show exactly the mode of attack a mule or donkey would use.

We would not say that the photos had been "contrived" or doctored in any way. Leah Patton, office manager of the ADMS, has witnessed similar attack behaviour between a donkey and dog, as have other staff of the ADMS, and other mule and donkey owners. In this case, the photos would be classified as "Genuine".

Did anyone not notice the snopes notice? They investigate things, ya know. The photo is obviously doctored, as anyone who's ever worked with imagery software can tell. Neat story, though.

holy shit guys mules are sick!!!

What did you do when this was happening and what were you thinking? What did you do with the lion when the mule was done with it?

wow!

thats amazing. i dont believe a mule could do that but i did know that they could be so tough especially ones wich love the things that its attacking

Mules and Donkeys can live off cactus and rattlesnakes and can be very, very mean and... well hard headed. It's no surprise to me that a Mule would attack and defend in this way against a predator. Like another poster said, that's why donkeys are used as protectors of sheep and goats in the field. They live with them and will protect them from predators and yes, that does include bears and lions, but mainly coyotes, dogs, and wolves.

I would not bet on a Mule vs. a Lion. But I would give a mule a good enough chance to pay for the seeing the fight. As to this being doctored.. You know I've been using photoshop professionally going almost 20 years working with images daily. This a complex scene, I doubt it. This mule's posture, position on the slope, the logistics, this would take a hollywood studio to fake, not just a guy with a mouse.
