COLUMBIANA COUNTY, Ohio -- A 10-year-old girl is listed in good condition at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh after being bitten by a mountain lion in Columbiana County.

It didn't happen at any zoo, or out in the wild -- but at a local home where, as a hobby, a family keeps several full-sized lions and mountain lions caged up in their yard.

Homeowner Chris Joseph said the victim is a family friend who was visiting at the time of the incident.

Joseph said her husband was in the cages feeding the lions when the girl wandered over, asking to pet a mountain lion.

Joseph said her husband told the girl no, but when he turned his back, she went in.

The girl was rushed to East Liverpool City Hospital then airlifted to children's hospital.

The animal's owners claim they'd been approved by the government to house these animals and that they have all the required shots.

Joseph told NEWS9 her husband would give an interview because they wanted to set the record straight, but when news reporters showed up at the home at the time she asked them to, she wouldn’t answer the door or the phone and ended up calling police.

NEWS9 contacted several agencies in Columbiana County to find out if an investigation was under way. So far, none of them are investigating.
