Three mountain lions killed after they ate human remains near a popular hiking trail in Arizona

Officials in Arizona killed three mountain lions who ate human remains close to a popular hiking trail.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department discovered the human remains Tuesday during an investigation at Pima Canyon Trail near Tucson and closed the trail, the department said. The Arizona Game & Fish Department said in a statement Wednesday the lions were killed overnight. The mountain lions are not suspected of killing the victim, Game & Fish officials said. Authorities are trying to determine what happened on the trail, the sheriff's department said.

The problem is the 'know it all' wildlife enforcement idiots who insinuate that they know how to 'manage wildlife'. Our nation would be better off w/o the wildlife idiots who kill animals because they have the authority to do so & say its the 'right thing to do'. BullShit

We are food to them!!! But it's up to us humans to create safety methods so it doesn't happen not just go out and kill them. We are encroaching on 'their' hunting ground, after all.

If they knew eating dead humans was against the law the killing would be justified....poor dumb animals they should have read the rules.

Let's remember we have invaded their space. Man have moved into their neighborhood, they come back to what they know. They ate a corps which may have never been found. What good has killing them done...?

Why?

Missing 411. I laughed at first. I’m not laughing anymore. Now I listen and attempt to figure out what’s going on.

Hey the three voted Trump.

I mean... I'm not gonna choose sides here, dumbass people or literal wild animal, but like... Maybe this could have been done in a more humane way? Shoot them with some tranquilizers (bc they are dangerous let's be real) and then maybe move it someplace less human invested lol

No sympathy for the humans I see.

Move the trail.

Maybe people should stay the hell away from places where wildlife live! 😠

Killed 3 animals, for doing what animals do. People have lost their minds.

So if a wild animal kills another “Wild Animal” it is normal but if the “Wild Animal “ turns out to be a capitalist financial Predator it is abnormal. I fear the urban wild animal than a forest one

This is bullshit. Raul needs to answer to the people about why, specifically, not one but three mountain lions acting as the wild apex predators that they are, were killed. Because we are afraid of them hunting us? THATS WHAT THEY DO. How in the hell is that abnormal?

Real news? Great job Finally!

Stupid yankees

How were the mountain lions at fault for this? Yes, humans are tasty to the wild carnivores of the Animal Kingdom. How about putting up signs that state 'Hike at your own peril.'

Humans are the worst species EVER!

I don't agree with killing an animal for doing something that's in his nature..If people want to hike in remote areas they should be warned of the hazards. Are we going to kill every predator just to make it more convenient for humans..

Where did they get the human remains? Missing peeps?

Don't hike there! These are beautiful animals that should not be killed because of human stupidity!

Get rid of bears too.

Human's are food to lions

So, Mountain Lions recycle carbon and get killed for it. Stupid policy.

Sounds like BS

You messed up the circle of life.

🤬

Why motherfuckers?

Why are people hiking in the Mountain lion's habitat?

Why did they kill them? Wouldn’t it be better move the lions to another natural area?

Tf are they supposed to do? They're omnivores

Wildlife 'experts' who aren't experts at all making excuses to slaughter cougars. 🤬

I've hiked on that trail. Not too far in from trail head it feels like a pretty rugged wild place. Shame lions were shot.

Humans are encroaching on their habitat. This makes me very sad. Wild life deserves to live in peace.

This is one of the reasons I am not hiking! heckno nopenopenopenope

That seems a little, 'dickish.'

Let's kill nature for being nature

the cats belong there. If the dickhead humans cannot visit without dying, it is not the cats fault

Here’s an idea: Hike somewhere else!! Jeez!! That’s THEIR home. Humans are such a plague on this planet sometimes.

Oh ffs they are only trying to survive

theoldgreywolf

Being that they can't tell the difference.

disgraceful......

Why kill them if they were not responsible for their deaths?

Does anyone hope that movie After Earth comes true?

Good kitty.

Why?

Mountain lion eats food... human kills it... lol. Weird.

If they didn't kill..why kill them

ComfortablySmug

que odio vai tomar no cu

That's like killin' people for eating Chipotle

couldn’t they just catch them and relocate them somewhere else? is it really necessary to kill them 😢

Is intermittent fasting good for you? Regimen boosts weight loss, disease resistanceStudies and clinical trials have shown the eating regimen has “broad-spectrum benefits” for health problems. NO!!!! Yes, intermittent fasting is good for you, but only now and then. Seems to work for me - more focussed, less sluggish. Recording food intake also helps. Cuts out meaningless grazing though you are free to do that during your “eating window”
