When wardens at the California Department of Fish and Game put in a request for a pole syringe and tranquilizing drug to easily handle two loose mountain lions, they should have followed through. Instead, they forewent the safe method and murdered the two cubs.
Experts say they were most likely orphaned siblings, which explains why they were wandering the area and taking shelter in crawl spaces. Around nine months old, the mountain lions weighed only 25 - 30 pounds each when spotted near the edge of downtown Half Moon Bay.
Organizations, such as Wild Rescue, have formed specifically to prevent these occurrences. They hope to be called on when wild animals roam into Bay Area residential areas.
With better instruction in handling wildlife, these wardens may not have needlessly killed the cats instead of tranquilizing them.
Ask the California Department of Fish and Game to establish protocols for handling wildlife in residential spaces.
