A portion of the Coronado National Forest was closed off for a day as authorities tried unsuccessfully to trap the animals.
"We thought the risk was too great and we had to take action," Mark Hart with the Arizona Game and Fish Department said. "Mountain lions are not routinely scavengers. Mountain lions prefer live pray and they're very good at killing live pray. And there's abundant javelina and deer in the Catalina foothills so why it happened in this case, we're just not sure."Authorities ended up lethally removing an adult female and two younger lions.
TooFab Why are they killing the lions? we all know they were white and Of course you're gonna get killed damn fool.. Stay out of their space and no one could be killed it's just that simple. You never hear of black ppl getting killed like this.
TooFab I guess that's why they are called mountain lions... that their territory... maybe take the trails out of the mountains DAH
TooFab why was the mountain lion killed?
TooFab With their dwindling habitat and food sources they will all probably be on the endangered species list soon. 🤭
TooFab itsalann97
TooFab cops didn't know about the 5 second rule or...?
TooFab Three mountain lions killed doing what they do instinctively and in their own living area. Why not move the hiking trail when whoever put it there knew lions were roaming free and must eat
TooFab girl we- let them eat
TooFab “The lions were not suspected of killing the person, but remained a threat as they showed no fear of officers attempting to remove the remains.” So basically, THREE mountain lions died because they were acting like their own?! Lawd... humanity at its finest!
TooFab It's sad someone died, however, not knowing how the person died and assuming the mountain lion killed them is horrible. Then to Kill all 3 for being wild animals is downright cruel.
JCavese TooFab Yeah, it wasnt me & you! So what!
TooFab So does this mean my cat Hela might try to murder me now that she bit a human and brought blood?
TooFab
TooFab Someone been watching too much You
TooFab I need y’all to work on these captions 😂
TooFab so they killed a mountain lion for being a mountain lion 🤷🏻♀️
TooFab Why did you have to kill the lion?
TooFab It's 'Cecil The Lion' all over again. People are in here weeping over predatory flesh eaters that tasted human blood. Come on, now.
TooFab 😞
TooFab Wow, people are just getting more stupid everyday, really? How dare he act naturally in his environment!
TooFab I hate the “in their habitat” narrative. Where did humans come from? Are we not also of this earth? Is this not also our habitat? They kill us, we kill them. They try to kill us we kill them. That’s nature. Lions and hyenas do it to each other all the time.
TooFab You'll never catch me in the woods without a rifle over my shoulder people are so oblivious of the dangers in the woods
TooFab We invaded their homes, it’s bound to happen. They are wild animals & need to hunt. . I mean i feel horrible for the person but it’s nature. . It makes absolutely no sense to put the animal down.
TooFab Nobody cares about the dead person.
TooFab They killed it because it either killed a human and started eating them or that person died out there and it started eating them either way they was going to kill it.
TooFab Probably those Republicans
TooFab This is like Amelie killing a hill billy for eating a deer that was hit by a car ....SMH why kill the animal ...REST I PEACE MOUNTAIN MUFASA
TooFab A lion walks around our neighborhood we kill it. We walk in a lions neighborhood we kill it. Humans are great
TooFab What if the hiker fell and they were just grabbing an easy bite to eat! Poor mountain lions
TooFab justiceforthelions
TooFab Why were they killed?
TooFab Mad to think these are just in the mountains in USA RonanOB94 just highlighting the fact these walk around the mountains. Ignoring the fact they were killed
TooFab Inappropriate. The human died from human causes (murder, heart attack, dehydration...whatever) it is NOT the fault of the mountain lions.
TooFab Kill the mountain lions for what they do naturaly.
TooFab ...... why kill a wild animal who just living its daily life? Person already dead
TooFab Like it was the lions fault some idiot human died in his territory
TooFab Let’s kill a mountain lion for acting like a mountain lion? Makes sense too me
