> Mountain lion attacks 4 horses
>
> A year-old mountain lion attacked four horses off Stony Point Road in
Santa
> Rosa on Tuesday night.
>
> The horses' injuries range from claw marks to puncture wounds. They were
> expected to recover but were exhausted from the ordeal, Mary Quinn, their
> caretaker, said.
>
> Quinn said all the horses had been originally rescued from abuse and
> remained skittish after the attack. The mountain lion apparently climbed
> into the enclosure and went after the horses.
>
> The horses were attacked by dogs three years ago, Quinn said, and likely
> drew on their memory of that attack to work together to fight off the
> mountain lion. "They are very capable of protecting each other,"
Quinn said.
>
> A mountain lion expert with the Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner's
> Office confirmed the attack and suggested to Quinn that she purchase
> undomesticated donkeys as guardians for her small herd, Quinn said.
>
> Donkeys will fight mountain lions, she said.
>
> Joe Montoya of the Agricultural Commissioner's Office could not be reached
> for comment.
