      Everyone but the turkey lots of people are plant based, but big cats are obligate meat eaters humans do best on plant based diets based on 1000's of studies! Eating beans, lentils ect.. greatly reduces cancer/heart disease ect. 10 servings of fruits/vegs a day is the new recommendation.

      As an expert on mountain lions I saw it was female and not quite full grown. Probably recently out of mom's territory. I am very happy it wasn't killed but it makes me a bit angry that the media always has to exaggerate the situation and this woman didn't help.. everytime some story about mountain lions comes on everybody has to hit the panic button. 🙄 As a qualified feline communicator behaviorist this cat was scared, and wanted to just hide and go sleep. Looking into this cats eyes you can feel it's curiously innocent nature. After all, they are lovers and not fighters. Up to 60 times in an hour 😯 Holds 2 world records and when people ask me what would I do if I ever met a mountain lion I always say introduce myself. What this situation lacked was someone like me.

    That poor Big Cat is just hungry. You never left it food on the mountains, so its visiting human settlements. Just give it lots of sausages, pork belly, pork chops, ham, beef steak, fried chicken, maybe it will also like pasta & lasagna. So it wont prey on your livestocks, it will accept leafovers on the fridge. Give it fresh milk too.
