Big mountain lion captured in a yard in Altadena

Thankfully, they tranquilized him and are in the process of transferring him to a safer area..

he gets a free helicopter ride too:)

Yay for the CA animal control guys :)

1. If people don't want mountain lions in their backyards

they shouldn't live in their territory. Just saying.

Very glad it was nonlethal for the cat, hope it can find a new territory.

3. You won;t get any argument from me

he problem is that it's been very dry lately, and the big animals move down the hill when they can't find water/food..

He's a beauty of a cat..

4. exactly right!

Very glad this has a happy ending...so far.

I'm afraid our lack of rain might cause more animals to come out of their habitats to find food.

Hope this rain we are having will help.

2. I am so glad to hear that they didn't kill him!

So often it seems as though the animal ends up dead.....

AND they were here first, after all!

Yes, indeedy....Yay for the CA animal control guys!
