It looks pretty obvious that their front door was left open. And probably the bedroom as well. Did the mountain lion escape on a bicycle ? The dog probably waked up neighbors, so maybe the kidnapping was justified. Andy |

Did you actually watch the video? 1. When staring down mountain lions, it helps to have balls between your legs. 2. Look at victim #1, at 1:29. I mean, how scary could she possibly look? 3. Now look at victim #2, at 12:51. If I saw -her- on the trail I would want to pounce on her too! |

They think it's a complete accident that there is far more food around and that their own breeding is so active that the children are raiding homes. |
