The nuisance bears in Yellowstone often are dumped in Utah by the DOW .
Then the nuisance bears continue to be nuisance bears breaking into more people’s homes.
The public lands are also full of large adult lions due to hunting restrictions. The lion populations are exploding. There is no more empty open spaces .
Then, either the existing adult male or this teenager will be killed by the other lion.
The nuisance bears in Colorado have been ending up on the Routt-Moffat county line, south of Hayden. If I had to wager, I’d expect this lion to end up in Rio Blanco. That area is thick with cats and this one wouldn’t get a second chance if it walked into Meeker or Rangely. DOW has no more problem with the cat and gets to write a ticket and collect a few hundred dollar fine. Problem solved.
