California went on a mountain lion protection binge. Now the mountain lions are so numerous that they are coming into populated areas to find food after cleaning out the wild lands. More contact with people. More attacks and killings.
There is no end to what tree hugging nutcases will propose. The fish huggers want to breach dams that provide drinking water, agricultural irrigation and electricity generation...so we can have a few more salmon of the type that are found in many other rivers and streams.
Just remember to go jogging or mountain biking with your trusty .357 Magnum...
