Poway mountain lions

What's crazy is that the 1990 law, I believe, prohibits CDFW from even making recommendations for a hunting season, despite the fact that biologists have determined that the population is not only stable but steadily increasing in most areas. The problem with that is, not only is it having a negative impact on our deer and ranchers in rural areas, but lions are increasingly expanding their hunting to the fringes of suburban areas as they compete amongst each other (apex predators have established habitats where only a certain number of dominant animals hunt). The ironic part of all of this is the same folks that whine about seeing more lions in their neighborhood are also the same kind of people that want to protect them and would continue to support such laws. Not saying we should eradicate lions, but why can't our state legislature look into common sense management of these animals (e.g. a trial hunting program for starters) instead of wasting time on plastic straw bans and gendered bathrooms? Sorry for the rant...

Someone will end up getting seriously hurt or killed. Hopefully not a child.
More and more examples keep popping up of lions seen in pairs or more. Maybe they will start to form prides.
Can’t be good for the ecosystem, both prey and predator species are getting taken out by lions.

Scroll down after opening the link. Two bicycle riders were attacked by a mountain lion in Washington state. One was killed, the other badly mauled.
Just think of it like a banded duck... maybe there's a number to call it in lol.

wow. thats why i look over my shoulder when im in the woods. interesting post about what the state has done with lions over the years. i was listening to the meateater podcast a week ago and they had brought up this issue. to bad the state will use tax payer money to "solve" this problem. from what i have gathers the state hires contactor to preety much catch and destroy the lions when the hunters of CA can harvest the animal the proper way. another sad point they brought but, its pretty much impossible to bring an animal from the no hunt list. i feel its going to take a more than sightings and pets to get hurts for the state to even raise its brow.
