Hey all,
2 nights ago one of my goats was attacked by a lion. She was doing well, but I had to euthanize her this morning.
Last night, the lion came back and got in a fight with my guardian dog.
I fired a firework at it and it left her. She is fine, thankfully.
My neighbor’s cat got taken last week and I heard another story of a dog in a chain link run being stalked at the bottom of Lickskillet.
All this to say there is likely a yearling lion around (another neighbor said they saw a yearling in town at 6 pm last week) who doesn’t know how to hunt well yet.

Yes there are lions out and about. Not only gold hill but Jamestown as well. Folks should be diligent about pets, livestock and humans. Particularly between dusk and dawn. They should be “hazed” whenever seen around humans. Fire crackers, gun shots in the air, air horns etc. lions are just being lions….. We need to be diligent and safe. Saw a bicyclist riding solo above Summerville the other nite. Deep dusk, really stupid.
