I live a few miles from there. Don't know why they killed it, could have tranquilized it.

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife program coordinator Steven Dobey said officers had to shoot the mountain lion because they didn't have tranquilizers with them. He said it was nearly dark and if they waited for someone to bring them tranquilizers, the animal could have gotten away and posed a danger to the public.

I would consider it their job to have tools like that on hand at all times. Poor excuse for killing that animal.

Agree. That's pathetic.

Ole Jeb and BillyBob didn't want to be late for supper.

and I can't believe they shot it, they better have some evidence to backup it was a danger to the public

Exactly. That's why I questioned their decision to kill it. Mountain lions can't outrun a radio. They should have had that tranquilizer with them when they got there.
