Guest Article: Are Mountain Lions More Important Than the Safety of People, Children, and Pets? – Part 2, by William E. Simpson

The incidents that were previously listed are but a few of the documented mountain lion attacks on humans, most of which were small children. All lions involved in these attacks, that were located and destroyed, were found to be healthy. Some showed signs of hunger. So as we now clearly understand, there’s nothing cute or cuddly about mountain lions; they are savage and ruthless killers. Who can gauge the emotional trauma and stress of losing a pet, or exponentially worse, a child, friend, or loved-one? Who Accepts Humans As Part of Predator-Prey Cycle? Can environmentalists who are academically and politically …




Letter Re: Are Mountain Lions More Important…

Hugh, Here’s an interesting article about what happens when people and wild predators inhabit the same area. One detail jumped out at me– how the current estimated deer population in the entire state is 445,000. To put this in the perspective of the mall ninjas who plan to “head out into the wild and hunt for my food”: The average de-boned meat weight of an adult mule deer is less than 80 lbs. The human population of California is 38,800,000. Finding, killing, and butchering every deer in the entire state would provide less than 1 pound of meat per person. …

Guest Article: Are Mountain Lions More Important Than the Safety of People, Children, and Pets? – Part 1, by William E. Simpson

In the late 1980s, it was determined by a relatively small group of financially- and politically-biased scientists and their lobbyists that the population of mountain lions (aka: cougar, puma) in California was dangerously low. So, they launched a massive media campaign to convince Californians that there was a genuine problem, giving rise to the 1990 California State legislation that provided a “protected” status for mountain lions. However, there was no overwhelming body of scientific evidence supporting such a claim. If there had been such credible evidence supported by a collective of unbiased and objective wildlife biologists, forming a majority opinion, …




Letter Re: New Jacksonville, FL Bill Would Make It Illegal to Back Into Your Own Driveway

Greetings from sunny Florida. I had a good laugh reading the article regarding Jacksonville’s proposed city ordinance requiring vehicles to park front end in so that the rear end and vehicle tag is visible from the street. Yes, Florida only requires a tag on the rear end of the vehicle. There is no front end tag requirement, although you see lots of vanity tags on the front end. Go Gators! I digress. Jacksonville’s argument is that this ordinance is required to allow vehicle code enforcement to do their job and properly identify a vehicle without trespassing on private property. It …
