As reported on our Facebook Page at www.Facebook.com/myscottsvalley and our Twitter account at www.Twitter.com/myscottsvalley yesterday, a mountain lion was not just seen in a Scotts Valley neighborhood, but it appears to have attacked and killed a deer right on a neighbor’s lawn in the 1000 block Whispering Pines neighborhood around midnight on Monday evening/Tuesday morning, August 26th.

This is just a reminder that we live amongst them and must respect them and take precautionary measures to make sure kids, as well as our pets and we are safe.

Here is an article just published on the Santa Cruz Sentinel:
