You are correct about that.

Until recently, I can only remember one report of a lion attack in California. That was about 25 years ago in south Orange County. In recent years there have been at least two attacks in Northern California (one of them fatal), two attacks in San Diego County (one fatal), a man on a horse menaced in the Laguna Mountains, and a lion walking through a campground full of kids in the Cuyamacas. I've seen lion tracks while hiking within sight of subdivisions in east San Diego County. Now we have this report of a lion attacking two humans walking together.

Meanwhile the population of desert bighorns continues to decline.

It's time to repeal the Kitty Protection Initiative and reinstate lion season.

Wait until the wolves get there.

Don't you get it. We're now required to be a part of the food chain if so called upon, just like we're supposed to be good little victims when a criminal comes calling?
