This story seems to be getting a lot of attention tonight. Fish and Wildlife officers shot and killed a cougar that was camped out for 3 hours at the South Health Campus today. Pretty tough video to watch and not really sure what to think. Seems most people think they should have put more effort into safely removing the animal. The reason this will get a lot of attention of course is because of the video- which clearly shows the animal suffering. Seems the defense for not tranquilizing the animal is that it was in tall grass and there was no guarantee they could successfully put it to sleep before it ran off.

Fairly tough video to watch-

NSFW!
