A mountain lion was also recently killed in the Santa Monica Mountains under a state law that allows lethal action if livestock or pets are attacked or if other deterrents have failed. The death of that animal, known as P-56, prompted calls to end the permitted killing of the big cats. Times staff writer Priscella Vega contributed to this report.
