Result for the mountain lion ...
Authorities believe the same mountain lion earlier that day attacked and killed another cyclist, Mark Reynolds, 35, whose body was found nearby.
Tests were being conducted on a 2-year-old, 110-pound male mountain lion that was tracked from the site by Orange County sheriff's deputies and killed. Tissue believed to be human was found in its stomach and DNA tests were planned to confirm a match, said Steve Edinger of the California Department of Fish and Game.

Apparently the test came back positive as there was no doubting of the mountain lion in later posts.

For those 'off-the-wall' animal rights crowd, note that this mountain lion, having killed earlier THAT DAY was still in a hunting mode. This was properly a case of better dead than capture and release elsewhere.

Thanks for your post.

I’ve read numerous times that relocating cougars doesn’t have the results the animal rights crowd would like everyone to believe.

When relocated, the cougar will be put in a territory of another male lion thus causing the death of one of them sooner or later.

The problem lions are problems in the first place because they are forced into territories close to man. Fortunately attacks on man are still fairly rare but attacks on pets and livestock seem to be increasing.
