Conventional wisdom says that mountain lions should have a healthy diet of deer, raccoons, coyote, and elk. But every once in a while, shouldn’t it be okay to let mountain lions have a little human, as a treat?
to the Arizona Fish and Game Department, the answer is no. Three mountain lions who ate some human remains they came across in their own backyard have been put to death for snacking. Apparently, they are not supposed to do that:
“Mountain lions are not routinely scavengers. A mountain lion eating human remains is abnormal behavior. Those that do are more likely to attack a human being in the future,” Regional Supervisor for the department Raul Vega told a local news outlet.The mountain lions were unabashedly eating the remains near a hiking trail and “showed no fear of responding officers.”
Though the mountain lions didn’t kill the people they were eating, the remains inside their stomachs are now evidence, and the animals are being preserved for clues as to how the victim did die. Growing up, my father always told me not to feed wild animals because it would make them more likely to attack, but these mountain lions were just nibbling on a little amuse-bouche they came upon all on their own. It hardly seems fair to kill them for eating it when there weren’t even any signs or memes to let them know human remains were off-limits.
