You have lions!?
Yes, we have lions, but we have no bananas.
We have had 5 lion issues in 12 years, and the state of California acts like they are in short supply. The people who want to eliminate the position of trapper from the county payroll claim he kills 70 lions a year in the county (There have been 70 lions killed by permit state wide in 5 or 10 years). Now if they are in short supply, how can the trapper kill 70 a year? And if he is killing that many, we are likely safer in the lion enclosure at SF Zoo than roaming the hill sides.
I guarantee this state could sell lioin tags for $5k a pop.
