Felicitaciones por éste hermoso homenaje a la Puma más famosa de Torres del Paine. "Mocha", el Icono contra la Caza de Animales. Pero también por "Sarmiento" y por aquellos Pumas qué, llenos de instintos aventureros por establecerse en un lugar, pierden la vida.

I'm all for wildlife conservation and management, but why focus the energy on protecting this one just cause it has a birth defect? Are the other cats less important to their ecosystems? And shouldn't the healthiest animals be protected to pass along the best genes possible? Not trying to be argumentative or contrarian, it's a beautiful animal and I wish it the best, it just seems illogical.

I don't take any offense to your comment. Back then there was little research being done on pumas in that area. This particular animal was very recognizable and helped those interested in understanding the area's pumas find, watch and track her to better understand their movements as they dispersed. No doubt those following her became attached to her. And when she left the safety of the National Park and crossed into Argentina, those who were attached to her would have wanted her to not be shot by private land owners. I am very certain if they were watching or studying a different puma with no physical issues, they would have had the same desire to protect it.

La diferencia la hizo y la hace un Icono contra la Caza de Animales. Quizás un cruce entre hermanos o primos derivó que ambas hermanas nacieran con problemas genéticos. Una sin Cola y "Hermanita" sea (o sido) estéril, ya que nunca ha tenido o tuvo crías.
