CA lions- a well researched article

Hat tip to Slowen on another site that brought this to my attention.

This is the best researched and well written article I've seen on the Mountain Lion debacle here in CA, author is Malcom Brooks on Substack

Heavy read, must of been tough to write. Thanks for sharing

Hopefully Wildlife depts and professionals will learn something from the mistakes in CA......

That was a very good read.

Ballot measures scare me; the public is so easily manipulated by media and advertising dollars.

It is gross that little kids are so frequently attacked by these lions.

Heard the tale of the brothers on meateater (are we allowed to admit we listen to meateater here?) and boy is that hard to hear. Unimaginable.

Great article and have a way better understanding on how CA ended up where it is with mountain lions. Thanks for sharing.

Man, that's a terrible story. Hopefully they can turn it around in CA one of these days.

Thanks for sharing. This was a good read. I have heard the story several times but not with this much depth and background.
Lions are definitely an issue across the state, I live 7hrs south of where this took place but I have seen more and more lions while out scouting and hunting. It used to be rare to see one, now I normally see a few per season.
