Community Alert
SSPD received a call of a mountain lion in the 28600 block of Stallion Springs Dr. The reporting party observed two mountain lions crossing into a field toward the Horse Thief Country Club golf course area.
SSPD also received a call of a possible mountain lion in the 17700 block of Buckpasser Place. Several residents in the area heard what they believed to be a mountain lion growling and roaring in the area. The residents did not observe any mountain lions.
Patrol Officers have extensively searched the area and were unable to locate any mountain lions. It is unconfirmed if the sounds were from a mountain lion or another animal. Although this is an unconfirmed sighting, we want to keep our community informed.
In partnership with Fish & Wildlife game wardens, we recommend the following if a mountain lion is sighted.
Don't feed deer; it is illegal in California and it will attract mountain lions. Do not hike, bike, or jog alone.
Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active at dawn, dusk, and night.
Deer-proof your landscaping by avoiding plants that deer like to eat. Trim brush to reduce hiding places for mountain lions.
Don't leave small children or pets outside unattended. Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house. Provide sturdy, covered shelters for sheep, goats and other vulnerable animals. Don't allow pets outside when mountain lions are most active at dawn, dusk and night. Bring pet food inside to avoid attracting raccoons, opossums and other potential mountain lion prey. Mountain lions are quiet, solitary and elusive and typically avoid people.
Mountain lion attacks on humans are extremely rare. However, conflicts are increasing as California's human population expands into mountain lion habitat. Do not approach a mountain lion. If you are attacked call 911. Please use caution when outdoors and use good judgment.
Please report suspicious activity in progress to the SSPD by contacting KCSO dispatch at (661) 861-3110. Do it when you see it. A delay in reporting can allow the suspicious persons to leave the area making it difficult to locate the subjects. Remember to tell the dispatcher that you are in Stallion Springs and requesting a Stallion Springs officer.
