B次元官网网址淗e just stayed and he just stared at me for the longest time and I decided I needed to do something a little more intimidating,B次元官网网址� recounted Gallant on the program.
B次元官网网址淎 little more intimidating?B次元官网网址� interjected Meyers. B次元官网网址淪o what did she do? Growl? Stomp her feet? No, she opened iTunes and selected B次元官网网址楧onB次元官网网址檛 Tread On MeB次元官网网址� by Metallica.B次元官网网址�
There were howls of laughter from the audience as he set the scene Gallant faced.

B次元官网网址淪o Dee pulled up the song, held her phone in the air and hit play,B次元官网网址� he continued. B次元官网网址淎nd as soon as the first few notes rang out, the cougar turned around and darted back into the woods.
B次元官网网址淐an you imagine being that cougar? YouB次元官网网址檙e like, B次元官网网址淥h, great. ThereB次元官网网址檚 a lady. This will be easy. And then you get closer and youB次元官网网址檙e like B次元官网网址極h, itB次元官网网址檚 a Canadian. Even easier.

B次元官网网址淪he finished her hike playing the same song on repeat the whole time for safety,B次元官网网址� he pointed out.
Gallant posted her story on social media after returning home and her video immediately went viral and even prompted a call from Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
B次元官网网址淥ur world is filled with people unwilling to take action in difficult situations, people who see danger and refuse to do what needs to be done,B次元官网网址� Meyers concluded. B次元官网网址淏ut not Dee Gallant. She is a role model for our times.B次元官网网址�
And if you donB次元官网网址檛 agree, he used GallantB次元官网网址檚 famous three words from the video she took of the encounter: B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檒l fight you.B次元官网网址�
Ironically, Cougars are the nickname of the sports teams at Chemainus Secondary School in GallantB次元官网网址檚 hometown.
She also recently played in a music trivia tournament in Duncan under the team name B次元官网网址楤ad KittyB次元官网网址�, the same words she uttered to the cougar before turning on the Metallica tune to blast him away.
