The Hollywood mountain lion was euthanized due to the fact that he was injured in a car accident and very sick.
Rest in peace beautiful boy.

Sad sad day. I saw a brief news video and the poor guy giving the news was near to tears. It is my understanding that He lived longer than most mountain lions in the wild. I am sorry to hear that his time has come but glad that he is no longer suffering. It's stories that this that help us all to know that we can successfully live along side the wonders of nature.

I was so sad to hear this. He was loved and respected by many and helped change people’s attitudes and laws. Rest in peace P-22.:sorrow:

I thought it was so sad too. I’m glad they did a thorough exam after seeing how his behavior changed. I’m still so sorry he had to be euthanized and at the same time glad he didn’t suffer a decline and possibly a slow and painful death. What a beautiful creature he was.

It is very sad when humans clash with wildlife of any kind. I wonder if relocation would have been an option?

Apparently He had been thriving for the decade that he had been in the area. It was just recently that they noticed a change in behavior and upon examination, He had injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle in addition to some age related conditions. The combination of which was unrecoverable. In this case it was just the result of a long (longer than most wild Pumas) complicated by the injuries that reduced his quality of living. A shining example of positive coexistence.
