SAN JOSE, CA -- A San Jose homeowner captured a mountain lion in front of his home with a surveillance camera Tuesday morning.
After the motion detector alarm on his surveillance camera went off, David Tang reviewed his video and saw the animal standing on his car.
"People walk around here at night time and walk with their dogs, so it's dangerous for the people if they don't know," Tang said.

That's a big cat

Evidence of a cougar on a car.
Oops...beat me to it.
That all changed when that little girl was mauled in Kaspers State Park in the eighties, followed by many other attacks. Rules in State Parks in CA, say that you cannot take your dog on trails, even on a leash, because dogs might attract predatory animals.
Two weeks ago, in San Simeon State Park, the ranger spotted two wild boars. He said that if you have a license, you can shoot a wild boar any time.

I totally missed making the cougar connection.
Can it be an out of state license???
30 million Californians. A few thousand cats. What’s the problem if the cats eat a few? There’s plenty more in reserve.

Hope this helps.
“When shot on sight, ambush predators soon learn which potential prey to avoid”.
What - do they get together afterwards an have a meeting?
“All right everybody - now listen up! Morris got himself blasted by a two-legger yesterday. If any of you cats see one of those things out there you need to turn tail and run like hell outta there!”
Gun license, not drivers license. He didn’t say whether the gun license had to be CA, but he knew that we were from out of state.
Now that was funny.
The place where this happened is right next to “Los Gatos” - the cat was looking for the way home!
If you can’t put a tiger in your tank a mountain lion will do.
And one would need a wild pig tag also (available at most sporting goods stores).
There does seem to be a bit of a problem though...
Hunting is prohibited in State Parks in California, as far as I know.
But I've seen wild pigs near San Simeon...not far from the road. On the Hearst Ranch. Good luck securing any hunting access from that outfit.
Exactly, this lady survived but wouldn't have but for a companion she was bike riding with that scared the cougar off. The previous day or two the same cougar killed a man, they found his body along side the same bikeway.
He was shooting in my pajamas; how he got in them I’ll never know!
Either you have significant rouble with reading comprehension, or you are being deliberately obtuse.
Consider that not only the juvenile cougar who watched the two legged thing kill their mother, and at a distance, all cougar who happen onto the site will know from the scent cues who was killed and who did the killing.
Yes, juveniles observe and learn to judge distances. When they encounter something that killed at a long distance, that distance and who killed whom are stored away, permanently.
I suggest that every cougar killed should be gutted on the site and the humans both urinate and defecate on the remains. When dealing with cougar, one must travel far down the line of evolved communication and speak cougar, so to speak.
Cougar understand urine and fecal markings. Therefore, piss and dump! Your ‘cougar communication’ will then be heeded.
Were all tranquilized cougar allowed to awaken but not be able to move, and then be given a kick sufficient to crack a rib, their behavior around humans would be different than presently coddled and cossetted captured cougar have demonstrated. A broken or cracked rib is “The gift that keeps on giving” - a reminder to the cougar to mind its appetitive manners.
Harsh - yes.
But, isn’t that better than having to kill it or have it maul or kill a human. Aversive conditioning works, coddling and cosseting fails.
PS “Condition ‘em or kill ‘em - the nature of a large bodied predator gives no other choice
Wow...you can almost see her volvo! ;-)
Sounds like fun but I don’t want anything picking on my Boston Terriers. They’re wimps.
The neighbor was really unhappy when I agressively drove the dog off. He was really grateful when he discovered the reason for my hostile behavior.
I don't think the pooch ever forgave me. Everytime the owner walks by and gives me a friend greeting or wave, the dog agressively pulls him on a wide detour as if to stay "I want nothing to do with this selfish jerk who wouldn't even let me lick up a doggie treat he'd discarded."
