It’s been a bad month for cougars (a.k.a. mountain lions). A couple of weeks ago, a cougar wandered into the north side of Chicago and was shot and killed by a policeman.

On Saturday, a cougar was shot and killed in Atascadero after making its way into a populated area, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.

‘Police warned people in nearby businesses and homes before calling the state Department of Fish and Game. Both agencies decided that to protect the public they would need to shoot the animal.’

Stay tuned for reaction.
