Opinion: RIP P-22, alpha cat of all the Angelenos
Beloved? Absolutely, for a fellow with really long claws.
And he was a lion, for crying out loud, a puma, the 22nd so dubbed by the wildlife handlers, the toilers in the best government bureaucracy in the Southland, whose only task is to make life better for the creatures who have been here for eons before us. Wildlife advocate Beth Pratt told NPR Wednesday that P-22’s was “a remarkable story. Nobody would predict that a mountain lion would march 50 miles across two of the busiest freeways … to make a home under the Hollywood sign. … His legacy is solid. That cat, through inspiring us, showed us what was possible. … He made us more human. He made us realize even in the second-biggest city we needed a connection to wildness..
I am given to understand — though I don’t actually understand it — that there are those who aren’t at all happy to share the big city with, well, a potentially man-eating beast.
