Mountain Lion shot 120th and Q Omaha
tstuart34:
Ernie posted on face the that the Omaha Humane Society was in route with a tranquilizer. He had a picture of the cat sitting in the corner by the building looking pretty innocent... Neither Ernie or the news can be trusted to report what really happened. It does not sound kike it was a very clean kill.
ILoveCats:
And what was the "humane society" going to do when it woke up from the tranquilizer with a broken leg? Not exactly seeing a lot of "humane" options there.
Maybe a cast and a crutch?
People been watchin' too many Disney films.
unfy:
I'm of the opinion that the situation was handled poorly. 1 or 2 men should have been able to keep an eye on the peaceful kitty until someone from the HS or Zoo showed up to knock the kitty out. Under peaceful surveillance - if it had made any serious attempt to leave - then by all means dispatch the critter.
Now - how quickly do the tranqs work ? I dunno.
But this entire situation reeks of not handling it right and wussies. I, for one, am not amused. I understand being afraid of a big kitty - having owned over a dozen domestic kitties, the thought of a 100lb kitty is terrifying heh... but still BOOOOOO.
The leg thing ? Known AFTER the fact.

I totally understand they didn't know about the leg. was just giving that as a reason as to why it didn't run away

They could put the cat out in other ways after they have her a look over. Buck shot and XX shots of 9mm or 40 is not a clean kill on large game.
I'm with unfy black eye for OPD not handled well. Why not call out the swat sniper and put one clean shot in her?
Also I don't trust the media to report the correct story any longer so maybe she got aggervaded who knows
