The people criticizing this are ignoramuses. Firstly, the LAST thing a fish and wildlife officer wants to do, is put down an animal like this. They are there just as much to protect the animals as they are people. Secondly, this animal is camped out in front of a bloody hospital. Yeah, great. Someone drags in a sick, weak or bloodied individual through that front door, and good luck if that cougar pounces on them. If you were in 100% health you've got a life threatening battle on your hands.
I feel terrible for the animal, but those criticizing the actions of these officers need to stop secreting ignorance out of their stupid face holes. These officers had no choice. Had that cat mauled and killed someone, those same numb skulls would be irate they didn't kill it.
