Cookie, I don’t think the two of us have been discussing wildlife (unless you refer to another James).

James, the idea that we are intruding on the natural habitat of wildlife is just one of many lies repeated so many times over the last 40 years that most people just accept it without any thought. I have never been that way. Call it a natural cynicism. Just because something gets repeated a bunch of times doesn’t make it true. One of my all time favorites is “our diversity is what makes us great”. Only you can prevent forest fires, tell that to the annual lighting storms. Spotted owls live in the old growth forest, actually nothing lives in the old growth forest because there is no food there. Not enough people question what they are told to believe. Deforestation? There more trees in the forest than there were in 1850. Yet they keep right on repeating the lies.

As I read the various comments, I’m impressed how people have expertise in various areas. Yet, Cookie has expertise in all areas. We are indeed fortunate that Cookie knows it all and can guide us lesser folks through life.

By the way, don’t believe for an instant that just because hunting them is illegal means that there aren’t people who assist in the population control. There are probalbly more of them shot because it is illegal. It is the nature of leftist policies to get the opposite results.

This idea that humans are intruding on the natural habitat of wildlife is obsurd. What exactly is man’s natural habitat? Is it a 40 story building surounded by concrete in some lower elevation cesspool? Of course it isn’t. Man’s natural habitat is everywhere the animals live. Humans have occupied these same exact areas for hundreds if not thousands of years. During the days of the gold rush there were thousands of people in places that are nearly non existant today. If you prefer less population in the cougars “natural habitat”, move back to the city.

Mountain lion meat is delicious. It’s sort of like fine pork.
