Shoot, shovel and shhhhhh.

lucky you. I have been waiting 30 years to see one. I would love it!

Well now 25 years later and here we are. As housing increases so will mans encroachment into the lions habitat. If we are to manage the ecosystem as the number one predator we must manage all the species and that includes the predators. Instead of letting the voters decide how to manage our ecosystem we should let the experts do it, biologist and the D,F&G. Currently there are about 130 lions dispatched yearly with depredation permits and then only when someone has been attacked, lost huge amounts of livestock or been killed. Just think about how many lions there are in California, when we past Prop 107 they said there were less than 5,000. I don't think so even with the best science how can you believe such a shy secretive animal could be accurately counted. We should have never let the voters decide this but now how do we change it? Unfortunately we will live with it.

Why didn't she take a picture of it with her digital camera or cell phone?

Thank you for that behavior link. Glad I wasn't the photographer. I think the cat would win, not me.
