I agree with both of Cathy's comments regarding the mountain lion and the lynx. Don't most zoos have a way to separate animals when cleaning and enrichment products are added to the enclosures? They need to make adjustment to the area for the lynx to insure that they have access to food even if it means losing some currently unprotected areas.

Sad story about the tiger this is why big cats should not be in zoos.

I would think they would have somewhere to put these white tigers while they clean their areas.

I still cannot understand why a zoo would not have tranquilizers on hand with all of the animals they have. It is so sad that they had to kill this mountain lion.
