The police department reports that the mountain lion had entered the main lobby area of a condominium, prompting concern. The department responded and was able to confine the animal in a secure space with assistance from property management, at which point the animal was shot with a dart and tranquilized.
Upon further investigation, it was determined that the mountain lion was in a poor condition of health and emaciated, which ultimately resulted in the animal being euthanized.

My elderly cat is being treated for a slow growing brain tumor. She lost a third of her body weight at the start of this illness and has that hollowed out stomach area. That big cat, to my eye, looks ill, not just starving. I believe this report.
It was just responding to that timeshare mailer.
You know we’re in a real estate bubble when even cougars are looking to buy condos.
OK!
I’ll bite.
What is that from?
Wildlife is never far in Colorado and sometimes, it gets too close for comfort. According to the Vail Police Department, the mountain town department responded to two different calls related to the same mountain lion in the area of Lionshead Village on January 8. The police department reports that the mountain lion had entered the main lobby area of a condominium, prompting concern. The department responded and was able to confine the animal in a secure space with assistance from property management, at which point the animal was shot with a dart and tranquilized. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the mountain lion was in a poor condition of health and emaciated, which ultimately resulted in the animal being euthanized. It is rare for a mountain lion to be this brazen around humans, which could have been behavior that was exhibited due to its poor state of health.

Very good Lee

I have heard that high-rise condos in the city are the natural habitat of cougars.

Considered badge of merit by some.
Indeed and on occasion I’m guilty of it too
Please tell me what is a DSH.....nevermind.
Sounds like a mercy killing; it was in poor condition and probably would have died anyway, but slowly.
Well, since you don’t really want to know...but I suspect that Google is your friend.
