A mountain lion attacking a small animal was spotted by students living near Gerhart Hall on the Bethany University campus in Scotts Valley Monday night, the second such sighting in as many days...

Students reported seeing the cougar on both Sunday and Monday nights...

Students are also being advised to avoid jogging or walking alone during the early morning hours or at dusk to avoid coming into contact with a mountain lion.

I suppose it would be a bit over the top to suggest that the students carry heavy handguns or shotguns while the move about campus?

Yea, I guess it would, this being Aaarnold's California.

A Cougar? Hanging out near a college? Maybe she was cruising for young guys...

I never go hiking without a K-Bar and a small 5 shot 357 within easy access albeit concealed. I also arrange my pack so my neck/back of the head is not an easy target.I know cats are out there and don't plan on being a statistic

Bethany University campus

It does not mention if they also were teachers or assistant professors, too.

The use of pepper spray has been an effective deterrent, according to police.

So would these. But this is Kalifornia we're talking about.
