As the East Bay's residents face the thrill and perhaps a dash of terror of a mountain lion wandering into their neighborhood, it's worth reflecting on who the real intruders are: us. We humans have encroached upon these majestic creatures' habitats, disregarding their right to roam freely while we burden our planet with pollution.
In response to recent mountain lion activity in a residential area, the Sierra County sheriff's office has warned local residents to keep pets indoors and exercise caution, especially during early morning and late evening hours.
