The only proper, responsible answer to an animal such as this is to kill it. I would have shot it instead of taking that fourth photograph. Right through the door; doors are replacable. Kids are not. It has clearly lost all fear or respect for man; it WILL hurt some one if not dealt with at the earliest opportunity. Magnificent animal or not; it is a very capable predator. It is, for some reason, looking for an easier meal than it is normally accustomed to obtaining. It will, with absolutely no doubt whatsoever, continue looking until it is successful.
