Crappy Cops Murder Mountain Lion

This story makes me really angry. If I had been there, I would almost certainly have been arrested for interfering with the murdering idiot police officers who decided to kill a treed animal. They claim it was running off...but that doesn't make sense in so many ways...not the least of which is the fact that there is apparently TV footage that shows him lounging on a tree branch as he was killed. Look at the pictures with the story where they show screen shots from the footage.

So they irresponsibly decide to kill a cornered wild animal, and then they lie about their rationale.

Grrr.

Mountain lion chased by dog, then killed by Palo Alto police

A 110-pound male mountain lion spotted roaming the streets of residential Palo Alto for hours was shot and killed Monday after a dog chased it up a tree.

An 11-year-old black Labrador named Kelsy caught scent of the big cat and chased it up a tree until police arrived, according to the dog's owner, John Furrier.

"She had a ferocious growl that we've never heard before," Furrier said of Kelsy. "I think she's a hero. I think she could have saved some lives."

Police had been on the lookout for the lion after it was spotted earlier in the day. Officers who arrived to find it in the tree didn't have a tranquilizer gun, and said the animal started to run off, so they decided to bring it down, said Capt. Torin Fischer.

Footage of the shooting taken by a KPIX-TV crew appeared to show the animal resting on a high limb in the tree, raising its head slightly, when it was shot. Not everyone was happy with the turn of events.

"I think it's absolutely atrocious the way the police behaved because obviously the animal was not posing a threat to anyone," said Alfredo Kuba, from the animal rights group In Defense of Animals.

The neighborhood where the lion was shot was far from the mountains the big cats normally call home. This was in the middle of residential Palo Alto, just a few blocks from an elementary school.

"It's very rare," Fischer said. "I can't remember something like this in the last five years."
