An adult mountain lion or cougar if you will was angrily prowling the streets of Chicago and Wilmette, a suburb just a few miles north of the city for the past few days ending in it's sad killing yesterday.
And all I can say after seeing this beautiful animal shot dead is if it was being kept somewhere as a pet, the selfish owners should be hunted down themselves and spend some caged up quality time themselves after allowing it's escape or even it's intended release due to the probable inability to contain the animal any longer would be my guess, as it's highly unlikely such an animal just wandered out of the local woods that are not exactly plentiful in this area.

Cops kill cougar on North Side --
chicagotribune.com: "A cougar ran loose in Chicago on Monday for the first time since the city's founding in the 19th Century. But by day's end, the animal lay dead in a back alley on the North Side, shot by police who said they feared it was turning to attack.
No one knew where the 150-pound cat came from, though on Saturday Wilmette police had received four reports of a cougar roaming that suburb, roughly 15 miles from the site of Monday's shooting.
Whatever its origin, the 5-foot-long cougar's unlikely journey ended in the Roscoe Village neighborhood, where residents reported sightings throughout the day to the Chicago Commission on Animal Care and Control. Resident Ben Greene said police cornered the cougar shortly before 6 p.m. in his side yard on the 3400 block of North Hoyne Avenue." continuedRelated links
