Opinion: Readers mourn the likely end of P-22 -- 'Los Angeles needs him. I need him' (via latimesopinion)
I have been involved in advocacy for P-22 the entire 10 years since he managed to safely cross our two busiest freeways. I have been to in-person meetings. I have been to screenings of a movie about his life. I have been to educational meetings learning not only about him, but about all mountain lions and wildlife in the area.
P-22 is part of my life. And while I know that will not always be so, I support him being here. Los Angeles needs him. I need him. I hope and pray that my fellow Angelenos also feel the same.When I saw the first images of mountain lion P-22 in the custody of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, I had a sinking feeling we were witnessing his impending demise. And of course it follows: Biologists now think they may need to euthanize P-22, for his own good.
