Mountain Lion F29 Under Active Capture Operation Near Mount Shasta
MOUNT SHASTA, CA — The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Tuesday that F29, the juvenile female mountain lion that has been preying on pets and small livestock in the Weed and Mount Shasta areas, will be captured and relocated rather than lethally removed.
CDFW and Siskiyou County agencies are working together in the vicinity of Pine Grove Drive, west of Interstate 5, using trained tracking dogs to locate the animal and facilitate a safe capture and relocation. The Mount Shasta Police Department asked the public to give the working dogs and personnel room to operate safely.
