In the mid or late '90s (IIRC), a woman long distance runner was killed was killed along the San Pablo Ridge or Oakland Hills in the SF Bay Area. It was either near dawn or dusk and the victim had a very slight build - 5'-3" and 100# or so. She was on a training run, alone, when a female mountain lion attacked her and killed her.
The mountain lion was hunted down and killed. It was discovered that it had 2 or 3 cubs/kittens/or whatever you call a baby mountain lion. As I recall, $33,000 was raised to take care of the babies. The human victim had two or three kids, but there was no fundraiser for them.

San Fran gonna San Fran.
That said, it's a mountain lion. That's what they naturally do. Hunt, kill, eat. Much like an alligator, shark, bear, what's the point in tracking it down and killing it?
