Wild animals will be wild animals. Domesticated pets must be supervised or sheltered at all times.
Oh, heartbreaking š to see the beautiful innocent dog attacked. Such a horrible experience. I'm so elated to know the dog survived and is recovering. ā¤Sending love ā¤ļø light and healing.ā¤
Knowing thereās cougars in the area, why would an owner let oneās dog outside alone at night? Irresponsible!!
Poor baby, I hope she heals quickly! š¢
She was in the living room yet she didnāt come out to help when she heard her dog obviously screaming while being attacked ??? like I donāt even leave my dogs outside by them self I have to stay watching them cuz im so scared of this happening
Thankfully, this was a giant schnauzer. You can respect nature, but there are boundaries. Nature would meet technology in that case.
We have 2 Giants the same age and weight and we have mtn lions here in northern Utah. I shared with my family bc literally this pup was 93lbs of defenselessnessš¢ we've seen tracks in the snow in our driveway.
The dog probably just thought the cat wanted to play until it got puncturedš¢
Massive fences. CCTV in gardens. Check the feed for movements before letting the dog out. That's how you find out if anything or anyone is already in the garden waiting. Want to live in a world that still has wildlife - you need to be proactive about protecting your pets from it and protecting it from your pets. We do like being reactive when we haven't been sufficiently proactive, though. Thankfully, and remarkably (I thought big cats tended to go for crushing the windpipe), the dog is relatively unhurt and nobody has sought revenge against Mountain Lions. Let's learn and do better.
Dog parents needs to be more responsible
Anyone who has predators in their area and leaves the dog on supervised is not a good dog, furthermore living in such an area without owning a firearm is completely asinine!
HOW did you folks MISS those 3 warnings to you on that property! There IS an established mountain lion den there. Did they permit you? Look RIGHT next to your driveway for the big circle. THEN look all the way UP the hill at the shaped tree. Looks like a wildlife camera set up. THEN look UP to the TOP of the driveway and see if you do not see something squatting that looks like a human grown over with leaves or a ghillie suit. Do NOT let your dog out WITHOUT being outside with a BIG club. You're on wild land.
The mountain lion wanted to prove the true meaning of the song "Who let the dog out?"
While warn your neighbors, if you donāt follow your own advice. Glad your little doggie will be OK.
The last lady in the interview face would not move and looked so fake lol..
I feel for the pet dogs and cats that are attacked in their own yard and I do not blame the owners. I'm happy Holly survived and hope she has a speedy recovery. People do need to be aware though - for themselves, their children, and pets - that just because you probably never see any wild predators on your street or in the surrounding neighborhood, does not mean they aren't there. Predators by nature are masters of staying out of sight, especially during the day. They generally are out from dusk til dawn. So depending on the time of year they can be out hunting as early as 5 pm. They do not distinguish between some wild critter or your beloved fur baby. To them if they can catch it and kill it, it's a meal for them and any young they may be raising.
Idk what people expect when you live near wild animals or continue to develop further into nearby lands. Animals gotta eat š¤·š»āāļø just be mindful and careful and youāll be fine.
If that dog is still alive then that lion was not serious,
THIS VIDEO above is another REAL reason why owning a firearm IS THE RIGHT of every citizen.. I'm talking about a single shot rifle or shotgun to protect you, your pets, property and family. Just like California state in the video, there are other anti-2A states that want to TOTALLY strip people rights away of owning any firearm.. And once again, this video is a prime example why that is such a POOR excuse.
The lion was hungry. Welcome to the real world .
