A mountain lion that entered a Santa Rosa home and dragged a dog outside on Nov. 28 was euthanized by a Sonoma County trapper on Dec. 3, officials said.
This video screenshot shows a mountain lion attacking Rebecca Kracker's dog Sherman at her home in Bennett Valley, a rural neighborhood in Santa Rosa, on Nov. 28, 2022. California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Ken Paglia said the agency had issued a depredation permit to the county for the animal, which had also killed goats on the same property.
"I stood shaking and documenting the ordeal while I waited for backup with the mountain lion hissing, baring her teeth, and continuing to strangle my poor Sherman," Kracker wrote."My neighbor was able to get here 10 minutes later and took a shot at the mountain lion.
“Clearly, something was wrong with P1," Living with Lions principal investigator Dr. Quinton Martins said in a statement."She was very old for a mountain lion which may have led to issues related to aging, including tooth wear, slowed responses, weakened senses, and possibly other health issues.
Coincidentally, two days before the animal attacked her dog, she had lost a 100-pound, 9-month-old goat to a puma.
