I will never ever forget the movie Benji The Hunted. A hawk or eagle swooped down and took a mountain Lion cub that Benji was trying to help get back to the mom, he followed them all thru the woods, but couldn't get to the tree to get the cub out. And the last you see of the cub is looking at Benji crying. That is forever imprinted on my mind! I cried and cried for that cub! And it was a movie!
I wouldn't risk it!
