Sport hunting of mountain lions in the American West does not reduce the number of attacks by the animals..." Guess that means we aren't shooting enough of them.

He forgot to mention that capital punishment isn't a deterrent to murder either. I was surprised at the oversight.

The new study by Christopher Papouchis compared the number of attacks in California with states allowing hunting, and said it took into account the human population and size of the mountain lion habitat. Once you start "adjusting" for things, you can make the results go any way you want.

So when you kill some cougars, the others work longer hours to take up the slack?

I HAVE HAD A REVELATION!!! The only real way to decrease the number of mountain lion attacks here in Montana is to live-trap our surplus lions and send them to California, which, judging by the lower percentage of attacks, needs more! And if this works for mountain lions, maybe we should start exporting our excess grizzlies, which are extinct in California. Just think, not only would California have grizzlies again, the homeless problem would disappear!

The gist of this article seems to be, Hunting pumas in other states does not effect pumas in California.

"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.

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.

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!
