At a summer camp in Trinity County, a mountain lion injured a camp employee, prompting the killing of two mountain lions by camp owners and wildlife officials. The initial attack occurred on June 14, a day before campers were set to arrive. A DNA test confirmed that the second lion killed was the one responsible for the injury. Although mountain lion attacks are rare, a recent bill in California aimed to address increasing lion attacks on livestock and humans but ultimately failed, reflecting ongoing tensions around wildlife management in the state.
An employee at a Trinity County summer camp was injured by a mountain lion, leading to the killing of two lions, one of whom was confirmed as the attacker.
Mountain lion attacks are rare, with only eight documented fatal attacks in the U.S. since 1994, highlighting the unusual nature of this incident at the camp.
