Rattle snakes are a much bigger danger and hikers are much more likely to encounter one than mountain lions.

P-45 got a reprieve! He will not be put to death. (Hopefully after they catch him, they'll relocate him and not put him in captivity.)

They don't shoot cougars in CA because enough get killed by cars and other hazards every year. Scientist know what theyre doing. Cougars do good things in case you didn't know. Ex. They keep deer populations healthy and limit the spread of things like Lyme disease.

People need to stop believing all the hunter propaganda their hunting buddies tell ya,always research what you're told.

The A hole officials shot one about a year ago I think in Hollywood because they didn't know what to do.

the concept seems great, protect LA's wildlife, unless it's your sister in law whose head is in its vice grip as they drag you away to be eaten alive.
Who told you humans to invade their turf and build houses up there?

Didn't know what to do? Call animal control, that's what you do. Everyone knows that.
