Why is it too bad they had to put the mountain lion down?
It is what it is.
No kidding! Cat has the taste for mammal blood, gotta go!
i hate that they murdered an apex predator. its a risk we all take in the wilderness. if a cat kills me, i do not want her murdered. and if you hunt them, i hate you
Good to kill the cat. Best if other cats see it. Gotta teach them to fear and avoid humans.

I have my popcorn and soda ready. This is gonna be a fun thread!

I am more scared by almost anything. There are lots of cougars in Washington. Attacks are very rare.

Sounds like a rogue cougar and most likely they did the best thing.
I don't believe cougars attack people generally.
Since this one attacked 2, it is not normal at all.
My opinion.
I'm imagine hikers in the area will rest better at night.
Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams
Support the right to arm bears.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Not everyone has film.
It is possible that you and the OP may think more alike than not.
Big difference between saying “its too bad they HAD TO put the Mountain lion down” and saying “it’s too bad they put the mountain lion down”.
As written I agree it was too bad they needed to do this — just as I would agree that it was too bad Aron Ralston needed to cut off his arm to save his own life (for example).
The deceased ran away instead of trying to help his buddy. The two of them working together could probably have driven it away. Running is only going to make things worse with an apex predator. Youre not going to out run (or out-ride) a mountain lion.
Predators, just like armies, know that to suceed
You first divide, then conquer
if they stayed together, might have had different outcome
Not hikers
Given that it’s washington, I’m surprised that they didn’t give it a plea bargain to serve a 10 year sentence, suspended after five (in cat years of course.)
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
The problem with mountain biking is that you move at fast speed. When you are trespassing/violating a big cat's or a grizzly's territory, you have become an intruder, and you will be treated as such. This is the thing most mountain biking guys don't get it.
