If you take a look, you can see the dogs as they began tracking several days ago. And they followed those tracks for about 90 minutes throughout the dense forest. Now, the dogs did tree the cats 130 yards from where the 6yearold boy was mauled. Wildlife officers say the cat became very aggressive, looking into the eyes of a warden, preparing to pounce at that warden. And then, at this point, they made the decision to euthanize the cat. Initially they set out traps hoping to catch the cat alive but that did not work. They say theyre as certain as they can be that the 65 pound male Mountain Lion was the one that mauled the 6yearold but theyre going to have to wait until they get tests to confirm.
