Well, if they attack then they certainly aren't scared…
@bigfishy7816
SSS 👍
@HillLifeTv
And definitely call wild life do not just dial 911 that take you to the police department not fish and game and they will send out local cops to arrest you.. Fish and game are also cops but there number is not 911 you call the local good ol boys your probably going to jail no matter what you do just cuss they had to drive out there don't forget that.. Fish and game have there own number
@HillLifeTv
And all endangeres animals get tagged lions have trackers and ao do a lot of others they acting like they don't know where it is they do and they don't care
@HillLifeTv
But the system still wont tell you to keep a gun when you trailing in anyway shape or form I live in jackonson state forest area our motto in mendo county is rather have it and not need it then actually need it and not have it. Usually references towards big wilderness animals cuss we live in the mountains out here. Where I specifically live is 3 miles from town which actually isn't that bad but most of us live in deep rural areas the idea of a snake bite from a rattle snake and making it to thd hospital sometime ain't realistic neith is bleeding out from a mountain lion bite or scratch endangered or not if you are in fear for you life and the lion is chasing you to kill or hurt you we drop it and call the warden and 9/10 if you have cameras nothing will be done and the might even let you keep a souvenir for not stuffing the thing before they got there
@anchorage72
We live in their habitat, not the other way around.
@cynthiacler9284
OMG they got the location correct for the city of Salinas. I always hear people say the Bay Area is Northern California thats incorrect if you look at a map its in the middle of the state.
@gamebozco
The first thing I did… I locked my door. Wait what?
@barbarahough5226
You took over his habitat what do you expect? I’d at least made sure it had water. They are running out of places to go. 😢
@Thespyan
I'm sad for the little boy who was attacked,of course, and I hope that he recovers well, but why did they have to euthanize that cougar, instead of just relocating him? That makes me sad, too. 😔

@AgustinMendoza-q2j
I seen him chilling that same one I swear
@williamshaw5388
Move. No one told you to live on their home.
I have no sympathy.
@Cadillaclife2023
First thing you did was lock your doors!!….. great job because they are known for opening doors🤣
@No-ones-fool-no-more
Don’t go to Australia they say.. there’s dangerous animals & creatures in Australia they say.. yea right, like we have big effing cats just walking down the main streets of town.. we’ve never had at anytime ever in the history of Australia been told to stay INDOORS coz a wild animal is in town.. 🤣🤣
@Jakelink-7364
And if you weren’t a blue state, you’d be able to go out and end that thing.
@handsome526
If you have to learn the hard way then so be it, don't fook with me

Mountain lions were extinct in 2018. ??
Robot? Bio engineered?
@AnythingJW
human in kitty cat territory
@ZetaReticuli_
Shelter in place order? Are you kidding me? I grew up in Santa Cruz near the Scotts Valley border near Henry Cowell Park. When I was little, a mountain lion had somehow gotten out from a nearby wildlife preserve.
There was no "shelter in place" order. There wasn't even a curfew. Just be aware of your surroundings, keep extra close watch on your kids. Keep cats indoors, and use the buddy system. None of which was mandated.
@VondaBrewer
I seriously DOUBT the mountain lion is more scared of humans then a human is scared of the mountain lion! Stupidest thing I've ever heard!!!!
@jonigudel6912
this is just a kitten compared to downtown LA.
@kds365
Mountain lions are ok, as long as you dont act like dinner.
@AngelicaCline-i6d
Poor scared thing.
@waynewells3297
Poor kitty, let’s help you find your family, no need to fear us, come on over HE ATE MY FACE!!!!!! Oh, GOD NO!!!!
@denisia1111
❤ Hope he found his way to the train tracks and followed them the out of there! That's my hometown, I actually worked right there 20yrs ago, and I'd have felt safer with the that mountain lion over the creeps that tried to rob me late night! Awe now I'm homesick.

@LightHouse5G
The cat is starving to death.
@fatimalomibao6148
They are losing their habitats to humans. They need to be protected.
@hkschubert9938
This kitty looks hungry !!
@fernandomaciasjr7638
There’s a cougar on the loose
@johnalver
The last thing we heard before the tv and internet went down was: shelter in place
@chafouaube985
You want to put the in tiny space. Here they response.
@allengreg5447
We get those all the time here, at a small town in rural Utah. They're usually just passing through and ignored. Last year, one was shot, and then an eight foot fence was built outside the elementary school. It wouldn't have been a cause for concern, normally, except it ate several cats and dogs, and then spent its days sunning itself on some rocks near the elementary school. The teachers said it was staring at the children during recess.
Someone called the DWR and they said they were too busy with other problems and, "You people all have guns, go kill it yourselves!"
@truth4004
They probably do this all the time and just not on camera. I lived in the woods with wild cats, coyotes, bears, moose and deer etc. the most Id seen was skunks, turtles, beavers at my house. lol
@truth4004
Hey cops please don't hurt the lion. He/she is probably just hungry. Be honorable.
@Rfox-
Poor baby, I hope kitty finds family
@im_agine852
HUGE HUGE NEWS
@fillup40
Why kill the cat?
@debbie5728
Riding LA Metro or Bay Area public transit for a couple blocks OR … face the puma? (I’ll take my chances with the vicious cat).
@mrxxbrian
Sorry, who is the home intruder again?
@debbie5728
It’s Ca .. I’d be on alert for homeless with knives, gangs, and foreign cartels.
