LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles mountain lion P-22 was euthanized after officials determined the celebrity feline was suffering from severe injuries and chronic health problems, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said Saturday.
The mountain lion had been captured on Monday by CDFW and the National Park Service officials who brought it in for evaluation.
The agencies say it is likely that a vehicle collision or incident was the cause behind some of the injuries. Medical tests showed"significant trauma to the mountain lion's head, right eye and internal organs, confirming the suspicion of recent injury, such as a vehicle strike," the department said.Tests also revealed significant pre-existing illnesses, including irreversible kidney disease, chronic weight loss, extensive parasitic skin infection over his entire body and localized arthritis.
According to CDFW, the cat's chronic and debilitating conditions, as well as his age,"left P-22 with no hope for a positive outcome."
