Update on the Mountain Lion

I am sad they killed it. I can't imagine the tranquilizer making it more animated. I have seen them knock an elephant out and move it before..why not a mountain lion?

Yes, it can make it more dangerous, but when the tranquilizer kicks in about three minutes after given, it will be out. I guess maybe they think those three minutes will give it time to find a human? It's just a shame. I still kind of think they are killing it because it's easier. I sound like PETA. I'm not. I just hate for it to die when there is another way to handle it.

Have to do it right but they can traquilize it and take it way back in the mountains replce it like he do wolves and coyotes

Hi celtic, That is so sad. I am so sorry that it came to such drastic measures. Thanks so much for letting us know.

Too sad. Please don't kill animals just because they're wild.

Oh that's so sad. I feel that an animal's life is important just like ours, but when an animal comes into human territory or when humans encroach on wildlife territory, bad things can happen and of course a mountain lion will be killed if it is necessary. I feel very bad for it too. I think human development in wild territories forces the animals out of their habitats. Sad.

maybe they should use a stronger tranquilizer.. But i think it is better than it going wild and hurting other people.. Since we have little choice, man or animal..
