Have you ever been hunting? Have you ever been hunted? Let me tell you sweetie, if I went up against a big cat and came out alive I'd be proud too. I'd hang the thing on my wall to but for the fact that morons like you have made it illegal.
Mountain lions are not scarce; hell, they're overpopulated thanks to people like you. The pressure of territorial competition is so intense in these mountains that young males come down into the city as far as the food court at the Capitola Mall looking for food. Try growing up and facing reality: wildlife, as a whole, are better off if they are managed. If some have to die to make that happen, so be it. That's the job GOD gave us in Genesis 1:28.
Late last year a pack of coyotes were attacking a lady with two dogs in Lincoln Park which is where the rich dem voters live.

In 2010 the Chicago Fire Department rescued a coyote (a caller thought it was a dog) on an ice float in the lake. I live in Zoo. : )
