At the time when the tranq was still an option the people of the "residential estate" were not part of the equation. They were still in their homes out of harms way.

I would've shot it.
It was sick and already in someone's back yard, so I don't see where it's worth taking any risk to humans for a sick mountain lion that could have any number of diseases, many of which cause dementia and viciousness.
It's an animal. It's not worth a risk to humans.

Just because it is cute doesn't mean it is harmless. It's a wild moutain lion, it's not a domestic pet. The jaws of a cat are stronger then that of a dog and from the pic the cat looks to be about 40 or so pounds, same size as a pit bull ...would you send your kid off to school with a wild and sick pit bull running around your neighbors yard?
It's like when people act surprised when Shamu eats one of his trainers. People are always like "he's so friendly ...I don't see how he could have done that ...it must have been an accident". How about the fact that it is a wild animal? It's a killer whale ...it's got killer right in the name! The trainer is stupid in the first place for jumping in the water with the thing. Would you jump in the water with a killer shark? Of course not ...but a killer whale, they're sooo cute! Dummy ...they can eat the sharks. I think people watch cartoons too much.
This also brings to mind that video of the girl who got her leg chewed up when she tried to hop the fence to pet a polar bear. I guess white fur makes it harmless.

Killer whales are so named because of the way they literally savage the sea lions they eat.
A killer whale catches a sea lion in its jaws, uses its teeth to merely hold on to the sea lion, and then the whale shakes it to death before swallowing the sea lion whole.
Personally, I'm not so sure Shamu knows the difference between sea lion and human in a wet suit with flippers.

I've seen tapes of killer whales playing volleyball with seals.

apart from the distinctly different smells and tastes.
a killer whale might mistake a human for a seal, but it'd bite into the human somewhat, realize that what it has got in it's mouth doesn't taste like food(a seal), and let go.
but that is very rare.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

sick lion ate a dog.
Yup, in today's CNN; the lion was a (gasp) dog-eater!
Oh my!
That critter looks sick.
I'm sorry, looked sick.
Thankyou nice men for defending me.
