(KRON) — Fairfield authorities are warning the public after a mountain lion appears to be the cause of many animals’ deaths in the area.

Solano County Sheriff’s deputies and Animal Control officers responded to the home and contacted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“Mountain lions are looking for food and sometimes our pets and livestock make very easy targets,” the sheriff’s department wrote on Facebook.
