Oh, my heart is broken. I so hoped he'd be healthy enough to be kept alive. Poor sweet baby. I'm glad he isn't suffering any more but feel SO bad. At least he lived a long life and they found him so he didn't die alone and injured. Sometimes life sucks and this is one of those moments.

Absolutely heartbroken but I’m consoled knowing he isn’t suffering anymore. RIP P-22. I loved being your neighbor. You won’t ever be forgotten. 💔💔💔

Beautiful wild cat, rest peacefully now, no more suffering, no more pain.Let your soul run free. I knew of this beautiful Mountain Lion, he was once in my old neighborhood... Blessings to all who loved this majestic animal! ❤️

I think it’s very admirable that they have been so transparent about his condition and cause of death. So often when beloved animals are put to sleep in zoos the public is not made aware about the circumstances surrounding the animals condition and I think it really gives honor to his memory and a nod to the love that the community that lived with him to tell people all the details. I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 and knew about this beautiful big cat, that’s how far an impact he made. RIP P-22 I hope you are running wild in the biggest park there is ❤

Love that man, im from LA area and started crying for some reason after I heard he was dying and then passed away.

My heart is broken. I was really hoping he would survive and have a couple more years at a sanctuary. But if he was going to suffer…then I suppose this was a kinder way. He seemed to me to be such a gentle soul for a cougar. Never caused any trouble until only just recently due to desperation and illness. He never was able to mate or know companionship. And all of his scent marking was for naught. Sweet soul, now you can run free in heaven.. ❤️

we need a big bronze Sulpture of him put in an appropriate place!

RIP P22; he represents so much to the human heart…he was a mythological emblem and ambassador for both the wild resilience of nature itself and yet the need to preserve and sustain the natural balance. Can we please have him stuffed and put on permanent display, or have a gravesite and statue in Griffith Park for him!!

I just do not understand how/why this cat was left in this urban park, it was just a matter of time before this cat met a bad fate from a vehicle, poisons or people. He should have been captured and relocated to (maybe) the Angeles National Forest, or another wildlife area, where he could roam freely with less danger.

@nomisunrider6472

Жыл бұрын

Adult mountain lions can't handle relocation, especially the males. They're very attached to their territories, and having their world change seemingly overnight stresses them out and they decline rapidly. In addition, he's an old lion, and so he'd probably be killed by a younger, stronger male.

Putting a cougar in an urban setting is inhumane...PERIOD.

Results showed P-022 had several severe injuries, such as significant trauma to his head, right eye, and internal organs from a suspected vehicle strike, as well as multiple chronic health illnesses, including irreversible kidney disease, chronic weight loss, an extensive parasitic skin infection over his entire body, and localized arthritis.

I was really against the euthanasia until just now when I saw the CT scans. Totally understandable if still heartbreaking to lose him.

P-22 had a lot going on: He was hit by a car and sustained many injuries Fracture to his skull bone, right eye injury and his abdominal organs began to herniate thru his chest cavity. (6:20 for details). Out side of all that he had Stage 2 Kidney failure, advance Liver Disease, possibly had heart disease with potential heart failure, a skin condition that was caused by an extremely rare parasite and a host of chronic conditions!

He lived a good life for a decade in Griffith Park with plenty of wildlife to live off of. As he became elderly, like all older predators, he became too old to hunt wildlife so went after pets that were easier. There were so many sightings of him in peoples yards this past year. Being hit by a car was inevitable. However remember he lived a long and full life of a big cat. 14 is very old for a cougar.
