"Sure, but I've read about people being attacked by mountain lions in much more populated areas. Whose fault is that?"

People, since they chose to purchase homes in housing tracts built right up to the edge of wild nature areas known for mntn. lion population. The out of touch people have the attitude of a child bicycling, walking and jogging without mace or a walking stick(club) to scare off an attack in such areas is very naive and ignorant.

Mountain lions have been "protected animals" since 1990, according to the above. They also roam 50% of one of the most populous states in the country. Maybe there haven't been all that many attacks since 1990, but it still sounds like a lot of people are more on the side of the mountain lions then homo sapiens.

Actually, the Mountain Lion problem has been exacerbated due to so many states outlawing the use of dogs to hunt them and keep their numbers down and away from populated areas...pretty damn hard to track and kill a mountain lion without the use of dogs...another one to thank the genious lib politicians for..!
