You are absolutely 100% correct. Wildlife crossings should be included in all major road projects in SoCal as a routine policy. The cost of these should be accepted and written into the budget for each project.
Existing major highways need to be retrofitted with crossing for wildlife ASAP.
Public pressure needs to be brought upon our state and federal legislators to make this happen. How do we do this?
I have read news articles about this particular animal in the past when he successfully crossed 101. When I saw the latest info on him, I couldn’t stop crying.
How many more of these majestic big cats will lose their lives before humans do all that is possible to save the species from mankind?
I totally agree 100%…. This is something that should have been done a long time ago… And yet out elected officials don’t have a clue or are to scared to even bring this issue up to the public and or do anything about this… It is very sad and disturbing that us humans only care about ourselves and not nature that is around us when we live around these beautiful Mountains here in L.A. We r fortunate to have such close wildlife. I’m pretty sure Wildlife Crossing project can be easily erected and constructed in no time…. Which can be patrolled by our Rangers in order to keep out humans off these Crossing and prevent humans from living there ( homeless people) . But the way things will work is that this will not happen or it will happen when it’s a too late…Oh I get it more animals have to been killed..Not good….. Thanks Diane very good news article…
If the city is gonna use money as an excuse not to do this, which they will, people should volunteer to build these corridors, kinda like Habitat for Humanity.
Keep building homes intruding on the wildlife and this will continue to happen!
I guess you live under a tree?
??
Isn’t it insane that we build so much that we do t leave room for our wildlife to survive. We should be building farther apart.
?❗️ We DO need to take care of the wild life! We are invading on their territory and forcing them to seek elsewhere! We NEED to DO OUR Part and to keep them safe!
You 100 % correct. It’s disgusting and horrible how these animals are killed as we move into their territory. What a shame.
And what is the syringe of medicine next to his paws?
It’s part of the necropsy. It’s not medicine. They’re analyzing his blood to determine whether he was exposed to rat poison.
Heartbreaking
It’s is heart breaking but where would you have people live? Each of us live in a home that took the home of a wild animal. Unfortunately we can’t have it both ways
It is heartbreaking! Sadly too many people just don’t comprahend the challenges these cats are facing to survive, or quite frankly they just don’t care. I’m CEO of a kitty rescue and in 2013 I invited Laurel Series PHD from UCLA to come and speak about P22 at a fundraising event. We live with these big kitties and I thought it imporant for people to know what is actually happening to them through human expansion into their habitat. Even though all the people at the event were kitty lovers most of them I think we’re bored during Laurels address. People are inherently selfish. At least most of them. Some of us can see the bigger picture! we share this planet we dont own it!
Sad and we all live in houses built here . Building is going to continue . Animals will continue .
Katie says it all.^
#lionlivesmatter
Yes too many people in one small area are actually large area California has too many people there sucking up too much water and habitat but they want their tax money
Corridors would help, I’m sure humans can spare such space.
I think we can have it both ways more corridor space between settlements if we don’t space our building were going to look like Gaza building on top of building……
Taking all the animals homes they have no where to go
Seriously people, there is plenty of open mountain space out here. Don’t be ridiculous. he was In the wrong place at the wrong time. Nobody forced that animal to cross a freeway, just bad luck and a sad story, but nobody’s fault.
Seriously? Theyre coming down for water and food .. it’s just getting worse for the wildlife .. off the 74 in San Juan builders are building in what was wilderness and habitat for a lot of animals .. large coyotes, bobcats, owls yes owls are getting killed by cars and large trucks on that road .. we keep building and taking away from the wildlife and then people will complain about the wildlife .. it never ends .. educate yourself on just how much room a mountain lion needs especially when their food and water sources are depleted because of people ..
Totally ignorant response from Kris Doyle, no personal offense intended. Wildlife crossings should be an essential part of city planning, we are severely behind the times.
Diane McGrory Jim McGrory Zachary Liddle
At what point in history did people begin regarding Mountain Lions and Coyotes anything other that what they are…PREDATORS.
How many more toddlers, joggers and pets need to bs maimed or killed before we declare OPEN SEASON on these viscous animals?
We need to STOP THE LIBERAL INSANITY.
You moved into their territory, not the other way around.
This is so sad
This story reminds me of the deer lady.
Seriously?
Are fish more important than watering agricultural lands that feed us? NO!
Should people have to live in fear of predators? NO!
PEOPLE ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS ANIMALS!!
ANIMALS DO NOT DESERVE RIGHTS ABOVE HUMAN BEINGs!!!
WHERE DOES THUS THINKING COME FROM?
Please get some common sense.
People lived here harmoniously with nature for thousands of years. It’s only become a problem lately.
People have NOT lives harmoniously with wolves, cougars and coyotes.
Pioneers regularly had to KILL all of those animals which threatened their livestock.
Do you have any material to back up your absurd
assertion?
Exactly. The pioneers also killed many of our Indians, who lived harmoniously with nature. That was the beginning of the end.
Mountain Lions should be actively hunted as their population has grown TOO LARGE and they have LOST THEIR FEAR OF HUMANS.
They have also decimated the deer population which in turn means less game for us HUMANS.
