Thanks for the ping jazusamo.

In California it isn’t so much, as the article states, that people are encroaching on mountain lion territory, as the fact that there are too many mountain lions in California. A retired DFG warden told me as much when I related my very close encounter with two lions to him.

Yes, that old Law of Unintended Consequences is literally going to bite them — again.

I couldn't agree more. In the last few years there have been problems in communities in the San Gabriel Valley that have been established for over 50 years. Lion numbers are increasing and those communities have not encroached any appreciable amount into the lions habitat.
