When in Danger, Use a Zucchini!

So I recommend you guys read this article beforehand, it's pretty amusing...
Woman hits bear with zucchini

First off, I was like WTH??! Then I burst out laughing because it's not every day you hear of a person fending off a wild animal with a vegetable. I thought what this woman did was pretty crazy not to mention foolish but above all it was very brave. It must be instict to able to run up to a 200 pound black bear and proceed to kick it, like protecting a child from harm even if it means putting your own life at risk. But a zucchini as a weapon of choice?? Well I guess she really had no time to think twice and grabbed the nearest blunt object, a 36 cm long zucchini. I probably would have done the same thing...in that situation you panic and act on impulse. She had to do what she had to do to protect her baby (the dog) and her home. So kudos to her. Her dog must be really grateful. I hope he's alright.
