I keep my doors closed and locked to keep people out. I never thought of a wild animal walking in like it owned the place. We have coyotes but they're usually scared to death of humans.

@@carolhutchinson7763 we still have all those damm skunks are the worst everytime i would open the window at night for cool air here comes that stank😋what parts u from were southern California
@@IVANMONSTER69: I'm in southern California too. When I was a child my parents lived in a house near the Verdugo Mountains and there were times when we had whole families of raccoons in the yard drinking out of the swimming pool and trying to eat the garden hose. There was a fence full of vines and I would hear them climbing over it. Now I'm in an apartment but lucky enough to have a front yard and several years ago there was a bunch of them out there. Now I just see an occasional skunk or coyote. Sometimes when I'm outside or driving with the window down I can smell a skunk. One night I saw my dog with a skunk walking upsidedown on it's front legs and I knew it had been sprayed. It smelled like burned tires. An emergency vet clinic told me how to get the dog clean.
The wildlife dept called the puma “senile.” That’s about as funny as it is stupid. Did they conduct a feline psychoanalysis on her? Pumas live to be 9-11 or 13 years if lucky in the wild. It was only when we humans extended our lifespan by 100% that we started to live to an age long past wild viability and this be given the luxury of growing senile in our older years. When Pumas develop medicine and communities that support them long past their ability to hunt, and start living to 25-30 years old, then I will believe they can be senile. She wasn’t too senile to return to the same residence and kill two goats. That doesn’t sound like senility. That dept should just keep it real- the cat found it’s way to easy street and was settling in like a Queen who will take its pet and child subjects as a meal frequently. That’s why she had to be deposed.
It sounds like senile in the sense of missing teeth and not being able to catch real prey, what in Africa and India made “man eaters” out old or wounded lions and tigers. She was resorting to risky hunting around humans because she was desperate.
Went jogging on a trail in CA saw a sign that read "Beware of Mountain Lions walk or jog in 2's.." So now while I jog around the local high school track....
What angers me the most is the people who bring these helpless vulnerable pets into their home knowing that they're bringing them into an unsafe environment, such as these in the wild where beasts lurk around nearby and can easily enter the home, their pet being the target. I've seen so many of these horrors happen where it was recorded by the owners and later put on CZcams, each time the owners of their pet who died a gruesome death due to their ignorance, negligence, are so damn nonchalant, which goes to show that they never cared about the well-being of the pet in the first place, reason why they had zero qualms bringing them into danger. Too selfish wanting a cute pet, to care that it will get savagely eaten alive by a wild cat or other wild beast. Their reaction says everything, absolutely heartbreaking and disturbing. There should definitely be a law that prohibits people to own pets in places that jeopardizes their safety.
I disagree. There are plenty of people who live in those environments that take extra precautions to ensure their beloved pet’s safety. It is the selfish people that should not be able to have pets, in any environment.
She left her sliding glass door open, knowing that wild animals lived around there. Responsible people know how to guard their pets and livestock. That lady was irresponsible.
@@slbellue6874 There's just no safe way for a pet to live in an area full of dangers. Something fatal can happen at any moment at the slightest mistake, like leaving a door open. It's just not worth the risk bringing these babies into this scary environment, one that can bring them a gruesome death.
@@crzrckok..? doesnt make it any less true lmao. their population is steadily declining due to human encroachment. we NEED predators on this planet because every part of the food chain serves its purpose. go educate yourself.
In related news: humans destroy mountain lion habitat for new housing starts and then act shocked when those same animals find alternate food sources in order to survive.
Wait wait wait. Does one person on here really act like they are better then animals. hellooo, they feed us and give us yummy steak and bacon. Dude if u take over an animal habitat ofc you'll see it in ur area eventually. It happens where I live
It sounds as if the dog smartly played dead. Which is something that doesn’t generally work with a cougar. Perhaps the dog could sense something about the physical condition of the animal? They’re predators, too.
You can have a gun in California. You just can't carry it around loaded in a pocket or purse, which I don't agree with. If you're caught with it on you, at least it's only a misdemeanor. Some states, mostly in the Northeast, would have it be a felony.
@@carolhutchinson7763Then move. Thank God we don't have psychos running around w loaded pistols. A serious recipe for disaster. Alabama still awaits you, dear. Don't worry.
She did have a gun in her home. Guess you purposely missed the part where she clearly said she fired her gun as a warning shot to scare off the lion. That's when the lion went away for a while. Then she took her dogs outside for a walk or something and saw the lion again.
Well what do you all expect It's not like these animals live in apartments or houses They run around in the wild They are just trying to survive as well They see food they go get it
For some reason mountain lions in California have little or no fear of humans. For some reason mountain lions in my state have a healthy fear of humans. Any theories?
Well, you didn't name what state you are from so that makes it harder for anyone to answer you, but I'd guess that because CA is a highly populated state with many big cities there is a lot more encroachment into mountain lion territories everywhere. Mountain lions with territory bordering on cities will become accustomed to human presence.
I told people 20 years ago when CA stopped hunting lions this would happen. If you don't scare lions and bears away and thin them out, people become prey. Hunting is conservation and control
@stevebutler8387 So where did you get your degree in conservation? There are myriad ways to avoid unpleasant encounters with wildlife without the use of firearms. Being sensible and aware would be the highest method on my list.
NEVER leave food outside. Raccoons will attack cats as a pack. I've seen it myself and rescued the cat. ALL food should be indoors before sunset and not until well after sunrise. Lions, racoon packs, and coyotes and fox will figure out the cat or dog food and come looking. Removing it for a while won't work. Once they know your place they will check back now and then.
Especially coyotes because they are the smartest animals. Once they've made a kill or have found food there before they know where the location is and how to come back to it
I live in a state where lions like this can be dispatched by the property owner. Americans shouldn't need state permission to protect their property and animals.🙄
THIS. Here we have to hide the fact that we dispatched an aggressive animal. It's ridiculous. They even banned cougar hunting so now they over populate
2 takeaways.... 1. The mountain lion didn't seem senile. He seemed very in tune with his environment, which included a nice meal of goats whenever he wanted, just sitting there waiting to be had, and a door that gets left open for whenever he wants a different kind of meal such as a dog. And 2. Being that it's California, I'd be surprised if her neighbor doesn't do 20 years in prison for firing his gun. Only criminals in that state are allowed to do that. I'm also surprised every antigun person in that state isn't in front of his house protesting.
I would have shot it in the face when it was watching them through the window like if its caught on camera this dude is threatening the well being of others, there shouldnt be much of a case to deal with afterwards. Anyway bless that dog.
Just shoot the mountain lion, not waiting for Authorities . That is what I would have done, they would come quickly next time you call. My animals, my home so I own what ever trespasses !!
First thought was that the dog survived because the cougar was either young and inexperienced or old with blunt, worn, or missing teeth. But then the report said it came back and killed two goats in her barn. The dog is very lucky.
12 years ago. I had a mountain lion try to eat my chickens and my pack of 6 german shepherds were all sent out to teach it a lesson. It was never seen again ever since then. Never doubt the wild life!
How the lion was sitting there staring like, "Lady, I can do this all day. I'm like that Sting song. I'll be watching you.." 😐 And then he/she yawned at one point like they were right at home. 😅 Guess I'm the only one in this comment thread who still saw the cuteness in this deadly being. Lol. Also, when they said the lion was senile. Like they were describing an old, bothersome neighbor lady. 😂
When attacked by a larger predator, as a last resort, dogs often act as if are dead! I've seen it in a nature video, a leopard dragged a dog up to the tree, seems dead, but after the leopard left, dog jumped off the tree and ran away!
So she lives in mountain lion country but she leaves her door open at night? Yeah, right! Then she goes outside knowing that the mountain lion is probably still out there. You can’t make this kind of stuff up.
Ive lived in mtn lion areas quite a bit, they used to walk right around my garage at night, which is attached to the house, you could SEE their BIG paw tracks and tail drag in the snow the next morning! and that was right IN a city of almost 2 million people, near the edge of the city with lots of brush n trees. everyone had high fenced yards, and even though i had a doberman, i never left her in the fenced yard when i wasnt home, ever.
This woman has no compassion for her own dog. And as for that poor cougar, nature is not a perfect law as animals suffer horribly due to it's processes of eat or get eaten.
So she takes her dogs out a couple of hours later when the mountain lion was still around?!?
Brilliant move Einstein!

if somebody hadn't pushed them out....
You wouldn't be here posting funny stuff on the Internet...
@@muddogtracker7449 Pushing each other out, that was how USA got colonized.
@@alwaysfourfun1671
And pushing others out, is how you came to be here also.......
Poor dog 😢he deserves a better owner
For some reason mountain lions in California have little or no fear of humans. For some reason mountain lions in my state have a healthy fear of humans. Any theories?
One theory.…...
a loud noise, followed by a very calm cat......
They are liberals
@@kevingunning9259 the mountain lions, lol?
Well, you didn't name what state you are from so that makes it harder for anyone to answer you, but I'd guess that because CA is a highly populated state with many big cities there is a lot more encroachment into mountain lion territories everywhere. Mountain lions with territory bordering on cities will become accustomed to human presence.
I told people 20 years ago when CA stopped hunting lions this would happen. If you don't scare lions and bears away and thin them out, people become prey. Hunting is conservation and control
@stevebutler8387
So where did you get your degree in conservation? There are myriad ways to avoid unpleasant encounters with wildlife without the use of firearms. Being sensible and aware would be the highest method on my list.
@@cquilty1I would give them directions to your house for starters

Excellent idea!! Thank you, dear.

Easy there, Robin Hood...
They said it was senile lol
Another uneducated neanderthal: "senile" = old
Knew that mountain lion coming repeatedly for its free dinner,thanks for feeding wildlife.Can’t believe animals outsmart some people 😎
I can believe it!
Put a spiked collar on your dog!
NEVER leave food outside. Raccoons will attack cats as a pack. I've seen it myself and rescued the cat. ALL food should be indoors before sunset and not until well after sunrise. Lions, racoon packs, and coyotes and fox will figure out the cat or dog food and come looking. Removing it for a while won't work. Once they know your place they will check back now and then.
Especially coyotes because they are the smartest animals. Once they've made a kill or have found food there before they know where the location is and how to come back to it
how about you don't leave your door opened!!!!
I can’t understand why these people live around wild animals with large glass doors,and pets outside.smh
Americans, the same peolpe who are DESTROYING wild life
Tell me you live in the city without telling me you live in a city
@@MyDuckSaysFucc Tell me you are clueless without telling me you are clueless.
Probably because they're not smart enough to realize that these wild animals are alot smarter than them.
Many of these people live deep into neighborhoods. Wild animals will travel for days and miles a d miles and live inside those neighborhoods.
I live in a state where lions like this can be dispatched by the property owner.
Americans shouldn't need state permission to protect their property and animals.🙄
THIS. Here we have to hide the fact that we dispatched an aggressive animal. It's ridiculous. They even banned cougar hunting so now they over populate
Stop hunting mountain lion prey animals and stop holding your easy to catch beef on feet.
@@alwaysfourfun1671
Stop talking about things you know nothing about.🙄🤦
Why do people choose to live in places where they are exposed to natural predators? Unfathomable to me.
It would have been the end of that mountain lion if it had MY dog like that.
Don't let your dog outside where the wild animals will get them
Ohhhhhh, don't mess with this tough chick. Why are so many americans so revoltingly corny.
2 takeaways....
1. The mountain lion didn't seem senile. He seemed very in tune with his environment, which included a nice meal of goats whenever he wanted, just sitting there waiting to be had, and a door that gets left open for whenever he wants a different kind of meal such as a dog.
And
2. Being that it's California, I'd be surprised if her neighbor doesn't do 20 years in prison for firing his gun. Only criminals in that state are allowed to do that. I'm also surprised every antigun person in that state isn't in front of his house protesting.
No way I’d have stood there and watched…and filmed…that cat attacking my dog…
Yes you would. You’d either freeze in terror or you’d realize that the mutt is replaceable. You aren’t
Don't count on F&W to do anything fast, even if there are children present. Protect yourself, your family, and your pets. Do what is necessary.
get off your phone and take a look around once in a while.....in all aspects of life.clearly she is so aloof to her surroundings
I would have shot it in the face when it was watching them through the window like if its caught on camera this dude is threatening the well being of others, there shouldnt be much of a case to deal with afterwards. Anyway bless that dog.
Just shoot the mountain lion, not waiting for Authorities . That is what I would have done, they would come quickly next time you call. My animals, my home so I own what ever trespasses !!
They’re highly endangered and no mutt is worth the jail time and fines
This Mountain Lion CAME way to CLOSE because it was very HUNGERY
the spelling error(s) are having me at my most weakened state.
More like, this is what happens when you build a house in an area native to mountain lions.
Thats thats what happens when you build your home in the middle of wildlife land...
Hard to believe the cat would be senile…
Geeze, the mountain lion needs to eat too.
Yeah: why don't you offer yourself as lunch?
@@DieFlabbergast Too salty.
Oh I’ll be damned, that mountain lion would have purred its last purr !!!!
It goes to show how powerful a mountain lion is
Owner didnt seem worried at all. Mountain lion never should have been put down. We need to stay out of their habitats
I have 8 Akitas and I know they would have went completely off on that mountain!!
Maybe
This is why you shouldn't leave your animals outside you never who or what is lurking around
First thought was that the dog survived because the cougar was either young and inexperienced or old with blunt, worn, or missing teeth. But then the report said it came back and killed two goats in her barn. The dog is very lucky.
Another example of people who are not in tune to their environment
12 years ago. I had a mountain lion try to eat my chickens and my pack of 6 german shepherds were all sent out to teach it a lesson. It was never seen again ever since then. Never doubt the wild life!
I had a cougar outside my house . All the doors and windows are closed and locked . Take a lesson lady
“I live in an area where mountain lions exist, so I’m going to leave by sliding door windows open at night.”
Imagine getting up at night for a snack or potty break and bumping into a cougar in your house. That's be better than a massive jolt of caffeine.
Sounds like that woman is the problem. Owning animals should not be a right.
I’ve lived in CA all my life and never came close to seeing a mountain lion. All I see is coyotes.
I'm going to leave my sliding door open in mountain lion country!
Yet another reason every home that legally can should have more than one firearm…
Yeah, why don't they sell them with the hoouse, just like your front door?
So you live in mountain lion country and you leave your door open. Uh nope..
if she were in better shape, she could've made mountain lion tacos
That name...wow.
The puma a menace to society 😂😂
How the lion was sitting there staring like, "Lady, I can do this all day. I'm like that Sting song. I'll be watching you.." 😐 And then he/she yawned at one point like they were right at home. 😅 Guess I'm the only one in this comment thread who still saw the cuteness in this deadly being. Lol.
Also, when they said the lion was senile. Like they were describing an old, bothersome neighbor lady. 😂
She doesn’t seem like the most savvy person to be living in mountain lion country.
When attacked by a larger predator, as a last resort, dogs often act as if are dead!
I've seen it in a nature video, a leopard dragged a dog up to the tree, seems dead, but after the leopard left, dog jumped off the tree and ran away!
I hate people who leave there dogs outside
She wasn't old and senile. She was old and opportunistic. Who are they hiring at the California DFW?
She knows about lion & left door open! Brave!
the fact that she took the time to record the incident...she gave no fucks about the dog. i truly hope she gets investigated...
If you are more concerned for yourself than the animals in your care, don’t have pets. I will protect my animals with my life if necessary
Hold on her dog was laying there and she’s just taking a video?
wow! she doesn’t look worried that her dog was hurt 😠
Sherman will remember you putting him on Worldstar instead of helping him out.
It’s videos like this that make me realise how happy I am here in England 🥺🙏 I freak out if a fly is in my bedroom!
They said stay inside and she went back outside?! WTH! Mountain lions are smart and will come back for prey they’ve wounded.
So she lives in mountain lion country but she leaves her door open at night? Yeah, right! Then she goes outside knowing that the mountain lion is probably still out there. You can’t make this kind of stuff up.
Ive lived in mtn lion areas quite a bit, they used to walk right around my garage at night, which is attached to the house, you could SEE their BIG paw tracks and tail drag in the snow the next morning! and that was right IN a city of almost 2 million people, near the edge of the city with lots of brush n trees. everyone had high fenced yards, and even though i had a doberman, i never left her in the fenced yard when i wasnt home, ever.
Why do mountain lions attack if they are not being bothered by any human or other animals? Is it hunger?
A Californian without a firearm or a anyway to defend themselves, what a shocker!
Scary for sure, but we need to understand that our wildlife is forced to move from their homes because of over development and wild fires. 😢
This woman has no compassion for her own dog. And as for that poor cougar, nature is not a perfect law as animals suffer horribly due to it's processes of eat or get eaten.
what a weird woman.. she didn't even care about her dog.
Nobody is shocked that this woman is single; her own dogs don’t even like her.
She’s created this problem. The animal should have been taken to a sanctuary where the rest of its life could be lived out in peace
I know animals technically are supposed to be outside, but I wouldn't trust leaving my dog outside at night. I'm not even sure about the day.
I usually put goats outside at night to attract Velociraptors.
