STOP THE UNNECESSARY KILLINGS OF OUR PRECIOUS WILDLIFE
There needs to be more awareness, training and public outrage for these common occurrences of killing our wildlife.
Since there was a sign warning people about the Mountain lions in the area. The adults knew that the Mountain lion was around why would they not be more careful and stay clear of these wildlife areas and if the authorities were watching they should have been tranquilized and brought them to a sanctuary or moved to another Forrest so this attack might not have happened.
A TRUE HERO IS THE ONE WHO STOPS AND AVOIDS KILLING IF THEY CAN NOT THE ONE WHO DOES IT BECAUSE IT IS CONVENIENT. PLEASE SPEAK OUT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU ARE SINCE WE ARE THEIR ONLY VOICE.
It has come to our attention that a Mountain Lion was euthanized in Nevada after allegedly attacking a
14-year-old and leaving him with scratches.
They don't know the whole story of why the Mountain lion wandered there and they should have brought it to a sanctuary or relocated it, not euthanized it. Officials should have checked and looked for the reason and not start a manhunt to kill it. It’s a disgrace that this kind of cruelty for our precious wildlife exists
and for no reason AT ALL.
​
IT ran up a tree being chased and could have easily been tranquilized, BUT INSTEAD IT WAS KILLED AND COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY TRANQUILIZED.
​
We hope that everyone speaks out to stop these killings AND the renewed bear hunting that is to take place in New Jersey in December which will bring more of these senseless killings.
In addition, we encourage and would like to see your office bring attention to the public and officials in that area and other areas to refrain from killing or euthanizing these precious animals which are usually just trying to find food for themselves or their cubs
OR JUST LOSE THEIR WAY.
​
They should be tranquilized and brought back to their habitat.
They should have been tranquilized and moved to another part in the woods but instead of displaying compassion for these precious animals they just killed them.
That is very very sad to say the least.
These animals usually do not hurt anyone unless they feel threatened OR THEY FEEL THEIR BABIES ARE THREATENED and they ARE usually killed due to non-caring humans, lack of understanding, lack of training which training should be mandatory, negligence and a rush to judgment on someone’s part.
We intrude and take their land and then kill them when they go on it or look for food or wander off.
Just because these officers can do it does not make it right.
There needs to be more awareness, training and public outrage for these common occurrences of killing our wildlife. A TRUE HERO IS THE ONE WHO STOPS AND AVOIDS KILLING IF THEY CAN, NOT THE ONE WHO JUST DOES IT BECAUSE THEY CAN OR BECAUSE IT IS CONVENIENT.
PLEASE SPEAK OUT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU ARE SINCE WE ARE THEIR ONLY VOICE.
There is life in a tranquilizer not a bullet.
It has come to our attention that a mountain lion known as P-22 is drastically underweight and was probably struck and injured by a car, wildlife experts who conducted a health examination on the big cat said Tuesday in LOS ANGELES.
They don't know the whole story of why the Mountain lion wandered there and they should have brought it to a sanctuary or relocated it and should not euthanized it.
Officials should have checked and looked for the reason and not go to the first decision to euthanized it.
Please try all possible answers including giving the lion time to heal without rushing to judgment or possible euthanasian.
We have seen animals heal in amazing ways. It’s a disgrace that this kind of cruelty for our precious wildlife exists and for no reason AT ALL.

According to Wild Aware Utah, the mountain lion has been a protected species in Utah since 1967. It’s still on the protected species list, but thanks to a new law passed in March, it’s no longer getting much actual protection, Utah Public Radio reports. Instead, the state legislature has decided to allow hunting and trapping of mountain lions year-round without a permit.
Again, there should be another way to place these wild animals somewhere else instead of killing them, we are taking their homes away from them. We take their land and food away from them and then want to kill them.

A former Denver Broncos player is getting a lot of attention on social media after he killed a huge mountain lion—and posted a picture to prove it.
Wolfe said the hunt for the mountain lion started on Tuesday. A hunting guide he knew had been told the lion was attacking family dogs and hiding under a deck in Grant, a small town in Park County.
Again, there should be another way to place the wild animals somewhere else instead of killing them. Even If the wild animal was attacking small dogs which is probably exaggerated. He had no right to do what he did and kill the beautiful mountain lion.

Several mountain lions have been spotted running amok in the wealthy town of Hillsborough, California, with some even snacking on dead deer outside of residences. Cubs have also been seen in a den near local homes, the Hillsborough Police Department announced. Although mountain lions don't usually approach humans, they can pose a risk if entering residential areas. Hillsborough is located 17 miles south of San Francisco and according to a Bloomberg analysis in 2019, is the fifth richest town in the United States with a median household income of $373,128. It is home to several billionaires, including Charles Johnson, majority shareholder of the San Francisco Giants, who is reported to be worth $5.3 billion.
Again, there should be another way to place the wild animals somewhere else instead of killing them.

A buzz has taken root among locals in Duluth, northeastern Minnesota, as at least three separate cougar sightings have been reported in as many weeks.
Local business owner Ryan Grumdahl was notified by his security cameras of an unusual sighting on Sunday morning.
Checking the cameras at the Les Grumdahl Window and Siding property in the Kenwood neighborhood, he was shocked to see a cougar walking across the path.
"I knew it was [a cougar], as I have seen them previously while hunting in western states," Grumdahl told Newsweek. "I shared the video with Minnesota Conservation Officer Kip Duncan, who confirmed it was a mountain lion."
"We have timber wolves, whitetail deer, moose, and bobcats around here, so to get a mountain lion sighting is crazy," he added.
The video system recorded the animal at 4:42 a.m. on August 20, showing the large feline strolling past the camera.
The cougar, also known as a mountain lion or puma, is a wild cat native to the Americas. Known for agility, strength and elusive nature, they are solitary predators.
With distinctive red-brown coats and long tails, they are skilled hunters who feed on a series of prey including deer, elk, rabbits and rodents.
Generally known to avoid human interactions, cougars present in urban or suburban areas isn't unheard of, but thanks to their reclusive nature they aren't prone to attacking humans.
But this isn't the first sighting in Duluth this month. In fact, three sightings have been reported in the last three weeks.
Again, there should be a way to tranquilize them and place the wild animals somewhere else instead of killing them. We take their land and ability to eat, and we still complain, what gives us the right.

A recently published report by California's Department of Fish and Wildlife described how two male lions that had been moved from the mountains of California to the Mojave Desert eventually starved to death as they tried to make their way back home.
In a move that has perplexed environmental activists, rangers captured the lions, tagged as L147 and L176, in the eastern Sierra Nevada -- considered their native range -- and brought them some 210 miles east to an isolated stretch of ridges, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The pair tried to trek in straight lines across the vast desert so that they could return to their native habitat, but without food, they had little hope of surviving. The body of L147 was found emaciated, indicating that the cougar had died of starvation. L176 "had to be euthanized" due to starvation as well.
“In hindsight, it wasn’t a good place to release those lions,” Tom Stephenson, a senior environmental scientist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, told the Times. “And we’re not moving them to that environment anymore.”
The department said it would no longer relocate males because they are instinctually programmed to return to their homes to protect their mated females from competitors.
The lions' fates were revealed in a report about the state's Bighorn Sheep Recovery Program, charged with helping federally endangered bighorns recover their populations. In 1995, there were only about 100 bighorns in the wild, per the Times, but they have made a recovery thanks to tens of millions of dollars in conservation efforts.
The mountain lion removals took place in 2021, although the report was only released recently. The animals were removed because they were preying on local bighorns.
The report alleged that authorities moved the lions so far away because they were testing new relocation sites to determine whether a wildlife crossing should be constructed near the site of a future high-speed rail project, which will connect Southern California and Las Vegas.
Stephenson disputed the accuracy of the report and said that the relocation was not intended as an experiment. An upcoming 2022 report is expected to include a section clarifying the preceding year's findings.
“We knew this would be a touchy situation, but we’re in the difficult position of trying to restore entire populations and maintain the integrity of ecosystems,” Stephenson said.
Mountain lions aren't currently considered threatened in California, although the Center for Biological Diversity and the Mountain Lion Foundation have petitioned for certain subpopulations to receive special protections — a change that could come as soon as next year.

Again, there should be another way to place the wild animals somewhere where they could have survived or put them in a sanctuary.

It sounds like the plot of a Disney movie: a mountain lion
prevented from finding a mate because he’s trapped by
L.A. freeways becomes famous and inspires the
construction of the world’s largest wildlife overpass.
But it really happened.
“He was surviving in a space much, much smaller than any male mountain lion ever had — eight square miles,” explained Beth Pratt, the California Director of the National Wildlife Federation. “The average male mountain lion territory is 150 miles.”
The cougar, named P-22, became a celebrity among Hollywood stars who would sometimes spot him as he roamed the neighborhoods near Los Angeles’ Griffith Park.
SHAME ON YOU. DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD KILLING THIS BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL AND NOT TRANQULIZING IT TO SAVE ITS LIFE & A RUSH TO JUDGEMENT. VERY SAD.
