Shoot, shovel, shut up.
Good thing they shot it. If it didn’t run from people after getting hit by a shovel and having 4 officers respond, it had no fear of humans. This is another problem due to the woodsy-the-owl enviroweenies. Preditors need to know who is at the top of the food chain.
Poor dog. I’d be using that cat’s hide to wipe my feet on after that.
A mountain lion killled (and ate) my great aunt’s dog. Then he perched himself up on her well house and refused to leave.
F&G took care of the perp.
Try repeated swings with the shovel, Skippy.
They waited until F and G came? Shaking head.
Uh....no
A dog named Gwennie?

I live about as far out in the woods as one can get in Connecticut. Last July my wife and I clearly saw a fairl large mountain lion crossing the very road we live on. I haven’t walked the dogs unarmed since. The F&G folks told me there were no mountain lions in CT so I guess we have nothing to worry about.
Bad kitty....!
If the mountain lion is going near houses and eating dogs small children might be next. I wouldn’t blame anybody if that cat meets an early end from hanging around houses.

First rule of Mountain Lion defense: Never go after one with a can........no matter how big the can is.
Nature can be so cruel. I’m so sorry for the loss of the family pet. It’s terrible. Very sad and yes, the dog did go to Heaven... The Rainbow Bridge and will wait there for all of them to join him one day.
