Yahoo! News - Man Kills Lion After Overnight Stay: "Fri Nov 7,10:13 PM ET
TUCSON, Ariz. - A mountain lion was shot and killed after it wandered into the fenced yard of a Tubac home and stayed there overnight, a game official said.
The lion was discovered in the yard the night of Oct. 29.
Two large barking dogs didn't scare it away, which is unusual.
The next morning, the homeowner's neighbor killed the animal, said Tom Whetten, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Game and Fish.
The neighbor had a hunting license and a mountain lion permit, which allows a hunter to kill one mountain lion per year, Whetten said.
Whetten said Game and Fish would have the animal tested for rabies because of the abnormal behavior. "
