So apparently CPD had to shoot a cougar that was roaming around the city. While some guys are out paying top dollar to western guides for the privilege, some cops took down a mountain lion in a Chicago alley.
Here's the url of the suntimes article: "Cougar shot and killed in Roscoe Village alley"

Maybe some of the rural southwestern or northern illinois cougar sightings I've read about might actually be legit reports of wide ranging wild animals. But I wouldn't be surprised if this one was the fault of some idiot who had the bright idea of keeping a mountain lion as a pet or something.
My favorite part of the article is the following comment that some anonymous reader left on the website:
"They should have left the big cat alone so he could have eaten all the yuppies in RV. They do need to eat you know."
