Hope they don't kill him. He was just doing what he does Hunt for food to stay alive. Leave him alone.

Poor baby i hope they take care of him

P-22 had a good run. May he be evaluated, taken care of and released in a safe place.

This cat has been knocked out tranq more often than Tyson

Yet they dont do a dam thing to human criminals running wild in the streets.

How is it his fault…. That’s what these animals say so that people don’t complain about them putting him down.. he’s a predator and he hunts to eat… how is it his fault that stupid people want to live in houses in the hills…. The county should of told people straight out if you want to have small animals it’s at your own risks

[mattdonna]

Has he been charged with a crime yet ?

*when human took all the land you need and scared of all the prey you need than i too would go hunting in human backyard.*

he needs to be released with the other lions in south central, compton and boyle height. His true home.

Hopefully they won't do like they did to the coyote last week 🐺🐆

[Hojiii]

Thank you for not killing this beautiful animal.

You better follow up... I need a happy ending.

I want proof he's still alive. If a cop will shoot a kid for "failure to ID while eating a cheeseburger in a Burger King parking lot". Then try to spin it as the kids fault to cover it up.

I definitely wouldn't put it past them to wack a lion... and claim "it's just sleeping."
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Sadly, I think he has reached his expiration date.

So how many millions we spent on finding out mountain lions are dangerous and can’t live with human’s…

In this date 12/12/22 exactly 6:25pm in Tarzana Ca I see 👀3 coyotes

They should release P-22 where he can hang out with his buddies, the criminals that control the streets of L.A!👍😉

I think P-22 was facing life for murder but he died before he went to court😢 he died in a sad death that I just want to cry😭

[joeytorres]

Deady dog attack????😳 that would have been the end of mystery Kitty... Even if I had to use my hatchet 🪓

[bobbymoss]

They're gonna put P-22 down like that poor coyote... 😭😭

[Dankpuffin]

Maybe it hurt its tooth. We LD cats attack human or live stock when they can’t kill natural prey.
