I played poker with a retired Doctor up there and he claims there are only a few lions left in the Santa Monica Mountains, and some of those are killed from time to time by land owners protecting horses, dogs, and other such domesticated animals living on the properties. Just plain shot or poisoned.

It made me mad and I told him the lions belong in the hills more than he did. When they are all gone, all that will be left is fat, rich, idiots, throughout the canyons, with all their pets and rich idiot crap.

Public Safety is a BS excuse for everything. How many children were killed by lions in the last 100 years, and how many were killed by drunk drivers in the last year? Lions don’t sell drugs, join gangs, murder, rape, or bully. Nope, lions just do what lions do…stay alive by looking for food where they can find it.

Public Safety? This is So Cal, Public Safety is an illusion…we are about due for another riot, earth quake, wild fire, mud slide, along with our regular serial killers and gangs…900,000 gang members and we kill lions in the name of Public Safety?

Public Safety? Tell all the fat idiots to move out of the hills. Public Safety? Tell all the land developers to build their malls and crap out of the canyons.

The cowards at the Dept of Fish and Game should stop protecting the public from stray lions and take their guns to downtown LA and see how much “PUBLIC SAFETY” they can create…more people will have their “PUBLIC SAFETY” threatened in the next hour downtown, than have ever been threatened by Mountain Lions. In downtown LA, the threats to Public Safety shoot back.

I say, let the lions eat the occaisional fat idiot or his donkey, I would rather have lions in the hills than fat idiots. Yeah, I’m pretty fed up with people, I’m rooting for the sharks, lions, bears, and any other hungry critter that can munch on a fat idiot. IN MY OPINION, nature is more valuable than fat idiots.

I was born and raised here in So Cal and we have just too many people now a days. C’mon Mayans, let 2012 thin the herd before all the wild animals are shot for “Public Safety”

I’m not too worried, if the Mayans don’t get the fat idiots, the 900,000 gang members here will get around to it.

Me, I’d have let the cat go about its business and people deal with that as well as they could. They were here before we were.

Does that include the idiot who was hiking near Portola Hills and saw three cubs and bent down to pet one when he was “attacked”.

His quote to KABC TV: “‘I’m doing all right,” he said. “I saw the cubs, but I didn’t see her at first. And I walked and I said, ‘Oh, I want to pet this kitty.’ And here she comes out and … I went to touch the kitty … and she just pawed me … She just clawed me is what she did. In other words, ‘Back away from my kittens.’”

In 2009 alone there were 3 fatalities from dog bites in CA.

A cougar was shot by CDFG April 25th in my old hometown of Sunland.

As a native Californian I expect better than this.

Yep, I’ve had a bad day and I truly hate people.
