The loose puma in San Marcos Sierras was transferred
animal protector, Alejandra Juárez, from the Carayá Projectconfirmed the arrival of the puma from San Marcos Sierras trapped in that town after being seen by neighbors and tourists.
Days ago, Suárez shared a reflection that went viral: “This seems like a romantic or nice story is actually something very sad, this animal was surely raised as a pet and then released, it survived, it learned to survive as it could and with what it had around it, but I never forget the Humans, without grudges, I just wanted their company, just sitting near them.”
“These animals raised as pets, if they are released, they become a potentially dangerous animal for humans, for pets and for himself, he had a town that respects animals, but a different fate would have been in another area. He will not be able to live free again, despite the fact that humans abandoned him, he still feels like his peers and seeks his company. It is time to reflect, to understand that some freedoms are impossible”.
“This puma is giving a message, listen to what it is about,” he had indicated.
The arrival of the new cougar
“After several days of evaluation and observation in the Tatu Carreta Reserve, today this puma arrived at our center, increasing the population to 18 pumas,” explained Suárez.
“He came calmly, looking at everything, from time to time a listless grunt as if it were out of obligation, we placed him in a cage for pumas and next to him was Pump’s who is blind and has a sector with darkness, her special enclosure was already ready for her problem, but with the rains we had not been able to move her. Automatically “when she saw” the new member, she went into heat and I grabbed my head, although she was separated, she was in charge of flirting and welcoming her in the puma style, but we moved her to her new enclosure and her flirting was frustrated, she had to investigate their new place,” he said.
“For the ‘comechingón’ community, which is very respectful of coexistence with nature, this puma from TAY PICHIN (San Marcos Sierras) is a special puma and for this reason we agreed that the comechingón community would come to visit him, be with him, and they will be the ones They will name it, something that fills me with emotion, even more than in our reserve, how throughout the area there are many vestiges of construction and life of this town, which I value with all my soul and I am grateful for having shared this wisdom ”, add to your post.
