The mountain lion populations are exploding now that the liberal politicians have banned historial hunting practices.

"The mountain lion populations are exploding now that the liberal politicians have banned historial hunting practices."

Yes. And, sadly, the mountain lions are a protected species while humans, in general, and children in particular are not. I'd be willing to bet that if one of these creatures (beautiful as they are) were to attack a child and you managed to shoot and kill it, there would be no end to the Hell you would endure.

Lions are beautiful and have a place in the eco system. Far away from humans (I bet there is plenty of human uninhabited public land there).

This can be accomplished by letting hunters use hounds, which instills a fear of humans in the lions. It worked before city liberals decided it was cruel and outlawed it in many western states.

Also, I suspect, the plentiful deer, (maybe elk) are helping to propel the lion populations to levels that will cause human/animal conflicts.

We are experiencing this in the southeastern U.S. with coyotes.

Hopefully, the lions will discover a new available food in your area — city liberals.

When we have a lot of human/bear conflicts here where I live, the wildlife commission approves more liberal hunting seasons. Of course our biologists with the WL agency here tend to be hunters, or people exposed to nature. From what I understand, folks out west have to also deal with WL managers who are closet animal rights activists. That wouldn’t go over too well here.

Another problem is there are fewer hunters to keep WL populations in check. That is going to create some MAJOR problems in the future.
