Simi Valley residents reported that at least three goats had been mauled. Authorities don't plan to intervene.
Fish and Wildlife officials said during a news conference the captured animal, now named P-79, is a 2- to 3-year-old male. A tracking collar was placed on the 100-pound cat, which was then released to its native habitat.
Puma sightings are not unusual in Simi Valley, as Daly noted “more than half of California is considered mountain lion habitat.”“It’s true that people might not have been aware of the extent of the activity because they hunt at night,” he said. “The increase in cameras mounted on and around homes has increased the number of pictures and videos showing mountain lions in neighborhoods.”
As a safety precaution, residents are encouraged to keep livestock in a covered area at night and to keep pet food indoors. Locals can also apply for a depredation permit, which enables officials to capture and euthanize killer animals. Neither of the goats’ owners have opted to do so. “We will get involved if there is a public safety issue,” said Simi Valley Police Cmdr. Steve Shorts. “But if it’s an animal acting naturally and eating another animal, that’s not something we’re going to intervene on.”
