The attack occurred in south Reno while the 14-year-old girl was walking her dog, according to the Nevada Department of Wildlife."We don’t know details as far as why it attacked, how, if it went after the dog first, or how she fought it off," the NDOW said.The teenager suffered what appeared to be scratch marks and minor puncture wounds, according to a Friday report.
Game wardens in the state"immediately responded," and USDA’s APHIS Wildlife Services was contacted to track down the lion.Wildlife Services euthanized the animal after it was deemed a public safety issue.
