A "wildlife warning" has been issued for a San Fernando Valley neighborhood after a mountain lion killed a family's pet pit bull over the weekend. In a statement, the Sylmar Neighborhood Council said the deadly attack happened Saturday near the Oakridge mobile home park near Foothill and Glenoaks boulevards. The "large mountain lion" was first spotted in the area around 5 a.m.
A neighbor took to social media to warn fellow residents of the dangers, especially when walking pets. "Huge mountain lion just killed our neighbors dog, I'm worried about the owners since the dog still had a leash on it, beautiful pit bull now dead," Rey Constante wrote on Facebook. "Oakridge residents, do not walk your pets at night, this animal is still roaming around untagged waiting for the next victim.
