It's a shame that they have to euthanize the mountain lion, but I guess I get why. The first fatal attack in 20 years, just goes to show that it doesn't happen very often and the mountain lion would prefer to be left in peace, it must have felt very threatened for some reason.

I just always hate to hear stories where animals attack people, because it always means a death warrant for the animal in question. Not that I don't feel bad for the people involved also, but -- destroying such a beautiful beast, it's just a damn shame.
