Exactly and it totally makes me appreciate President Trump even more. No other president would have taken this issue on. I said it during the Colorado forest fires earlier this year. Environmentalists pretend to care about forests but their policies result in forests burning down and taking houses and people with them.
Same woodpeckers responsible for horseshit like the Endangered Species List, Hunting Bans, and all kinds of other tom foolery.
Decades ago those nitwits got cougar hunting banned in Ca. DFG sold an awful lot more cougar tags than animals themselves.
And within a decade women in the East Bay were reporting being scared motherless noticing they were being stalked by cougars on the jogging paths outside their condo communities.
So then the Govt has to send out hired pros to either kill or trap and relocate the problem cats. Hundreds of $thousands blown that should have been spent improving cougar, bear, deer habitat, and policing rural poachers, was pissed away protecting overweight cougars in Nikes and Spandex.
The cat ain't a problem cat. It's a cat being a cat.
Sell tags and let a few nimrods take a few shots. Scare them back up into the hills just fine and put the Game Dept Funding into the till.
