Wildlife officials killed a mountain lion yesterday that invaded a home near Salida, attacking five dogs and trapping a mother and two children.

The mountain lion entered the home nine miles northwest of Salida about 4 p.m. Thursday after it chased a small dog through a pet door.

If that mountain lion was rabid, they’re probably going to have to sterilize much of the house. And get shots. And their surviving dogs will be in quarantine for a long time.

Some things you just don’t mess around with.

The cat was underweight by about 1/3 of normal, and wildlife officers can’t figure out why it would chase a nice sized bundle of food into a house. Huh.

Just finished “Beast in the Garden”. Really good non-fiction about mountain lions in and around Boulder.

I dont get any crap from the wife anymore about taking my 9mm on dog walks.

I used to live there. Great area until the libs discovered it. Bought up parcels of property surrounded by U.S.forest, built big houses, loved nature until nature doesn't love back. Liberals ruin everything they touch.

I’m sure the little ankle biters did their best.
But sometimes one bullet is what is needed. Nature is sometimes a cruel Place.
I stopped watching discovery Channel back when they had all the shows about animals mauling each other. It should have been called the blood and guts channel.

I wish there was video of that big cat coming through that small dog door. I guess when a cat is hungry enough it can crawl through anything!

Probably after the little ankle biter challenged the cat. Then it ran home to Mommy.
