Los Angeles is in mourning for a beloved mountain lion euthanized over the weekend, with effusive and tearful tributes pouring in from the likes of Gov. Gavin Newsom, while others plan memorial walks and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
State Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, who proposed the star, also thinks a bronze statue would do justice to P-22, who delighted Los Angeles for a decade with his exploits roaming Griffith Park.
Tributes have poured into social media over the death of P-22 Saturday after doctors found catastrophic injuries due to a recent car accident. “Today I learned that all cats go to heaven too,” tweeted @MountainLionP22, the cat’s twitter handle.— P22 December 17, 2022 This was followed by a tweet from a woman who posted a picture of her deceased cat saying, “If you run into this little lady, please tell her I miss her.”A similar tribute page on Facebook was filled with hundreds of comments, including a photo of the marquee on a silent movie theater that said, “Rest Puma P22. Love, LA.
NBC Los Angeles reporter Robert Kovacik once responded to a P-22 sighting and crawled under a home to snap a photo of the feline comfortably resting along a back wall. Even Newsom and Schiff posted their thoughts on P-22’s amazing life, reflecting on the legacy that he left including the construction of a the world's largest wildlife freeway crossing.
But his behavior began changing this year as he ventured further into populated areas and attacked two dogs in the past month. Last week he was tranquilized and examined by two dozen experts from the San Diego Zoo.
