The attack happened in the family’s ( Fenced in ) yard at their home near Lower River Road in the community of Lower Woody Creek about 10 miles northwest of Aspen.

The only way to deal with this is by outlawing mountain lions. That will fix the problem.
PLLLLEEEEASE tell me I don’t need “/s”
There is a good reason settlers killed em when they saw ‘em...
But my favorite cougar is messi

But then again Messi live in Russia, Russians tame bears for crying out loud XD
A 160 lb. male lion was killed a couple of weeks ago in Laclede, ID by a Federal trapper after it had killed 5 domestic goats. It had been tagged in the spring of 2018 near Chewelah, WA some 60 miles from where it was killed. At that time it weighted 150 lbs.
Next time - run with scissors.
Third attack on this little boy?
I saw my first wild mountain lion last Oct in Colorado.
We can thank liberals for the current rash of wild animal attacks. When I grew up, there was nothing like this going on. As a young boy, I could play almost anywhere I wanted to out in the country without a worry in the world.
Now, libs have given bears, lions, wolves, etc., greater value than people, most alarmingly, greater value than young children. As a result, it’s not safe in our cities and towns any longer (I live in the city and people see lions all the time around here), much less out in the country. Libs are the scum of the earth.
I ask, would anyone prefer having a lib living next to him, or would he prefer a grizzly bear living in close proximity? A person might as well prefer the bear, because, wherever he lives, a lib will always do all he can to make your life as miserable and dangerous as he possibly can.
All this proves one thing: a reasonable person should not suffer a lib to live near him, or far from him.
Now, I don’t have to spell it out: Anyone with a brain can figure out what that means. The time is near. It is announcing its arrival on every front.
When you move into their territory they see you as food. There is a reason the pioneers wiped them out.
Climate change is causing animals to change their hunting patterns.

Generally, you’ll scare mountain lions away, if you’re an adult and facing them. The more familiar they eventually get with you, though, the more the risk of attack. They short, quick screeches more than anything, by the way, like some kind of big bird, late at night (*not* as heard on TV). Also contrary to myths perpetrated by wildlife “officials,” they like dog food, especially in the winter, but only if the dog is not present or alert to their presence. Don’t leave small children outdoors by themselves in jurisdictions ruled by creepy worshipers of predators.
Oops. They *emit* short, quick screeches more than anything,... (probably the female mating call). Spotlight them, if you hear that late at night. Then, you’ll see.
We had one at our little city’s swimming pool in the middle of the city.
We had one a few years back in the garden center of a store.
There are too many of them.
