SAN FRANCISCO -- A hiker has died after reportedly being fatally attacked by a mountain goat while at a national park in the western US state of Washington, US park officials said on Sunday.

Barb Maynes, spokeswoman for Olympic National Park, told AFP that the victim Robert Boardman, 63, was hiking Saturday with his wife and a friend when he "apparently sustained fatal injuries after the encounter" with the ram.

She said details remain sketchy and an investigation is underway.

Mountain goat are tetchy, common knowledge among outdoorfolk who live around them. This particular one had shown aggressive tendencies before and the Rangers tried to convince him people were bad news with a bean-bag gun and firecrackers. He didn't get the hint, killed an unassuming hiker and so they shot him.

Anyone who thinks wild animals won't hurt you is so stupid they deserve whatever happens to them.

Most of these people aren't ignorant just stupid...and you can't fix stupid.

I must disagree with you. The mountain goat fixed stupid.

The mountain goat lived in the wilderness area. When you invade someone's home, they may defend themselves. A mountain goat can't really speak, so he uses horns. That said, the mountain goat should have had a lawyer.

When I first got to Texas I was invited to go deer hunting on this rance. I was told to run the mountain goats (white like the photo, but not that big) out of the deer feeder. I climbed down from my deer stand (Texans like raised luxury boxes to shoot at deer at a feeder) and approached them.

The ewes ran off. The ram was not moving.
I attempted to muscle him away by walking close to him.
He ignored me.
I wound up and planted a size 11 on his rump, backed up a few steps and leveled him 30.06 at him.
HE GOT PISSED, turned and he squared up with me.
Still chewing, he was doing this side to side thing with his head.
When he pawed the ground I spoke "Dude, seriously, charge me and you will be cabrito and your head will be on my wall."
I slowly backed up.
He looked at me, looked at the direction the ewes went, and choose them over me.
Later I was told the rancher would have bought me a case of beer I had I shot him.

Oh well...I gave up deer hunting for hog hunting. It is more honest.

While the mountain goat did find a simple cure for stupid, it did not fix stupid. If by chance the stupid person had lived, he would still be stupid. Even if he died, he's still stupid, just dead and stupid. So there is really no fix for stupid, you just wind up dead and stupid.

And, at 63 years old, he probably wouldn't even rate a Darwin Award.

Alas, it's true. However, the goat did cure the symptoms of stupid. However, if stupid bred, there are probably still nore stupids.

Stupid always breeds, they're to stupid not to.
