"Sport hunting is nothing more than the random shooting of mountain lions for fun, it does not reduce attacks on people or livestock, as far as we can tell from any of the evidence," said Lynn Sadler, president of the Sacramento, California-based Mountain Lion Foundation which initiated the study.
Well Lynn, I'm president of the Predator Extermination Foundation and clearly all of the evidence points to the fact that when there are fewer of these critters around, they attack fewer people.
When they are extinct, they attack no people. So Pbbbbt.

The key is the age. Elisha Culthbert (at least that's who I think it is) is too young to be a "cougar." Stifler's mom (from post 14) on the other hand is both a "cougar" and a "MILF." But that's another story.
I open this up to our panel of experts for discussion.

What evidence, Lynn?
Assertions are not evidence.
You can surmise anything, but we can say with absolute certainty that dead mountain lions can never ever again kill humans or livestock.

I have heard, from more than one source that I trust, that Mountain Lion makes excellent eating.

"So when you kill some cougars, the others work longer hours to take up the slack?"It's along that line. The African tribes refused to kill lions, because it was said the others would take up the slack and preferentially go after villagers. Same here with the dirt worshipers.

What I find absolutely ridiculous about all the explanations & conclusions from the 'experts' studies are their characterizations of the critter whether its cougar (or gator, or python, or grizzly/polar bear, or shark/tiger/great-white) as being a rogue critter gone wild, or perhaps the critter mistook the human for something else and it was all just an innocent mistake /sarc>
Who's is doing the de-briefing on these critters.., Reuters ?? Oh wait.. it is!! ROTFL!
