There are record numbers of cougars in Oregon, but the state
has received fewer complaints since the late 1990s. Three
years ago, the state began to increase hunting of cougars to
reduce conflicts, real or perceived.

Oregon is managing its cougar population because of the conflicts with humans in the past, California would do well to follow Oregons example.

Hunters have saved multiple species from extinction via hunting limits, seasons, etc.

Hunters do more for our environment than all conservation groups combined.

Since the state started doing its own cougar thinning in 2006, state-sponsored hunters have killed about 100 cats

And how is that different than the wolf cull in Alaska that Sarah Palin took so much selective admonishment from Libturds? Where's the outrage for Governor Kulongoski?

I’m planning on going cougar hunting, if you know what I mean.
