Mountain Lion Wipes Out Farm’s Petting Zoo
7/8/2009
For 40 years, the owners of Agua Linda Farm, a petting zoo farm near Amado, Ariz., had never seen a big cat on the premises until about a month ago.
Stewart Loew was excited at the first sighting, but soon realized the mountain lion hanging out at the all-natural farm had hungry intentions.
First, four sheep turned up dead. Then, according to the Arizona Daily Star, on June 15, all the farm’s mammals—16 pygmy and Nubian goats—were slain by the big cat. Only the geese remained.

I posted about this the other day linked to a news article. One thing the article you linked to didn’t touch on is that the farmer has some fear that he may still lose because his clientele might not return. Not that they are afraid but more that many of them oppose hunting. That would be a real kicker if that happened.
