Mountain lion tragedy sparks debate in Colorado

Colorado just saw its first fatal mountain lion attack in over 25 years, shaking up how locals think about wildlife safety and management. After the tragic loss of a Fort Collins hiker near Glen Haven, officials euthanized two lions, raising tough questions about balancing public safety and animal rights. Some argue that hunting policies might actually increase conflicts, while wildlife experts say managing these big cats is complicated and rooted in science. Encounters are rare, but the incident has everyone rethinking how we coexist with wildlife. How do you feel about the state’s approach to mountain lions? #Pets #ColoradoWildlife #MountainLions
