Later reports said the mountain lion was hunted down and killed.

I hate hearing this, enough are killed by trying to cross LAs busy freeways, which have created a DNA bottleneck. But humans trump mountain lions.

A new wildlife bridge is about to open in the area so wildlife that is hemmed in by the freeways can cross over:

Mountain lions are wildly overpopulated in California, and herbivory has taken a serious hit as a result. Hunting was much more humane than waiting for them to habituate to people then for both to suffer the consequences.

How many tens of millions will California waste building their mountain lion crossover?

I wonder how the animals know to use the bridge. Do they have signs up for them to read?
