Artemis I mission is scrubbed
The verbal scuffle was over a mountain lion that was rushed to the zoo after being shot Friday morning by Hollister police.
With a gunshot wound, the lion jumped over a neighboring fence in the 1400 block of Diablo Drive, and Fish and Wildlife was then able to tranquilize him, and bring him to the zoo's veterinary hospital for emergency surgery."This is the 20th mountain lion to come to Oakland Zoo in need of help as another victim of human-wildlife conflict,"In response, the Hollister Police Department took aim at the zoo for seeming to point fingers at them for the lion's death.
However, Hollister police also said that rangers tried to dart the animal twice with tranquilizers, but it didn't work. In a phone interview on Sunday, Hollister Police Sgt. Don Pershall said his department didn't like the zoo's post because he felt "their post was presented in a way that we were not doing everything we could to capture the animal safely."
