Well, California used to have hunting of such lions but the environmentalist threw a hissy fit so lion hunting was banned in California. Now they have a too many lions problem.

He said it was the width of an F-150. Looks more like the length of a welcome mat. Of course, large predators appear bigger than they actually are, if they’re close enough to you.

What’s a lion to think?

The welcome mat is out.

The mountain lion has put this whole neighborhood outside of San Francisco on red alert, with many concerned about the safety of their children and pets. Despite the dangers, though, many residents in the neighborhood say they do not want the mountain lion trapped, taken away, or euthanized.”

And now you know the rest of the story. How a freak like Pelosi keeps getting re-elected.

A rule of thumb that can be quite useful... If you actually see a mountain lion or wolf, assume the predator is stalking you or another very close by prey. The reason that humans emerged as the top predictor was weapons and not superior strength, sharpest teeth or longest claws.

When I was 18 or so, I drove into the Guadalupe mountains (NM) from the east side for a day hike. The east side is arid and very wild country. I got up the trail a mile or so and heard a loud snarl close by, mountain lion. No weapon more than a pocket knife, dumb. I didn’t see the cat and froze for a moment and then slowly started walking backward then turned and slowly reversed to walk slowly back the way I came. I think the mountain lion was telling me to get off his turf instead of sizing me up for dinner.

My sister will be getting new dogs at our lake house in Oklahoma in the foreseeable future as the two pups there now are way up in years. She was considering downsizing to poofer dogs and we had a talk about the coyotes living in the area. You can hear the coyotes howling at night sometimes. After I got her thinking about the coyotes at night and hawks during the day plus the foxes, she came around to sticking with larger dogs that can take care of themselves.

That is one big and strong looking cat. Wonder if Laughing Gas would be an effective deterrent? For those who don’t want to kill the animal. (Satire, nice visual though)

...and then killed a deer up behind my neighbor’s house.

That's the best possible outcome. I wish there were mountain lions in my area. The deer population is way out of control.

God lists curses that fall against nations that once worship him and turn away.

Bible > Leviticus > Chapter 26 > Verse (Click for Chapter)
I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted
