You receive a call that a mountain lion that was seen several times in a local neighborhood has been found chased up a tree by dogs in rural berkshire county, massachusetts. some people have been concerned and worried that it might be dangerous if just let go, especially if it is a released pet. others want it protected at all costs, because if it is wild, it's the first confirmed one found in the state in over 100 years. what do you suggest? what conservation role is there for the mass. environmental police, the mass. division of fish and wildlife, the u.s. fish and wildlife service, the audubon society (or other non-governmental wildlife conservation organization), and the local town mayor or council?
