Yucaipa, California – A Southern California family is mourning the death of their two large-breed dogs, who were killed in a brazen mountain lion attack on Saturday morning. According to Laurie Schultz, the big cat jumped a fence to access their yard sometime between 7:50 and 8:20 a.m. and attacked their 90-pound husky and 65-pound Anatolian shepherd.
On April 19, Schultz made a post on social media, writing:
So, sad day for the Schultz household in Yucaipa. Between approximately 7:50a.m.-8:20 a.m. Saturday morning a mountain lion jumped into our dogs’ yard and killed both our 90lb husky and 65lb anatolian Sheperd. This mountain lion, who we have on video, even came back and took the Sheperd out and carried her away.
And warning residents in the area to be vigilant:
This was an unprovoked attack and the dogs were targeted. This also happened in broad daylight. I have reported to all agencies and nothing can be even thought about until Monday morning (Dept. of Fish & Game). WE KNOW YOU HAVE ALL SEEN THE WARNINGS ABOUT KEEPING YOUR PETS INSIDE, BUT PLEASE REACH OUT TO PEOPLE WHO WALK OUR STREETS AND WARN THEM.
It is unclear if wildlife officials are actively searching for the mountain lion or not.
