Idaho Fish and Game euthanizes mountain lion in central Idaho after it killed pet cat – East Idaho News
KETCHUM (KMVT) — Idaho Fish and Game said they euthanized a mountain lion after it killed a resident’s pet cat south of Ketchum on Wednesday.
A young female mountain lion grabbed the cat within minutes of the owners letting their pet outside into their fenced backyard, according to Fish and Game.
Fish and Game set up a trap at the residence to protect the safety of area residents and their pets. The lion was later trapped that day and euthanized by Fish and Game officers.
“As with any decision that we are faced with to trap and put an animal down, our staff have to make the hard call to protect area residents and their pets” said Craig White, regional supervisor of the Magic Valley Region. “We don’t take these decisions lightly, but ultimately, our responsibility is to protect public safety. When a mountain lion exhibits aggression toward people or their pets within the confines of a fenced yard we need to take appropriate actions.”
Fish and Game warned residents to keep pets on leashes, feed pets indoors, and make sure the yard is clear to help prevent predators like mountain lions from attacking.
Wildlife managers advise residents to never run away or turn your back on a mountain lion, according to Fish and Game. Slowly back away while maintaining eye contact and safety devices like bear spray can help.
Fish and Game also reminded residents to not feed wildlife or leave garbage outside and unsecured. Residents should call 911 immediately to report any encounter that results in an attack.

I remember watching a documentary about Idaho’s wildlands. A narrator said there were probably many parts of the state where no human being has ever set foot. I believe that, but I stay relatively close to the highways. If I were 30 years younger, I would probably enjoy exploring the back country, but today, unless a plane takes me in and out, it’s not happening. I can’t say definitively that there is one spot that I find better than others. We’re surrounded by beautiful terrain, however. One place keeps calling me back.
Like a Scene from a Legendary Movie
When I go over the mountain between Gooding and Fairfield, I take time to stop at the overlook above the Camas Prairie. It reminds me of a scene in Exodus, where the Paul Newman character takes an American woman to look across a flat plain leading to Mount Tabor. He explains that’s the site where Deborah gathered her armies. It makes me feel there is something godly about the Camas Prairie. I keep going back to this spot. Sometimes I take along a folding chair and sit and look at the world below.
Slow Down and See the Work of the Creator
Fairfield may be nothing more than a blip as people speed down Route 20, but it’s their loss. On the other side of the highway is some of the prettiest country in Idaho. It’s going to be a lot less lush this spring, but drought conditions haven’t been nearly as severe in the central highlands. But if I’m granted a few more years by the Almighty, I plan to see the prairie for many more springs.
