"But they're such magnificent creatures"

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) confirmed that a mountain lion shot and killed by a wildlife officer was the one responsible for injuring a five-year-old boy Thursday near Calabasas in Los Angeles County. The boy is in stable condition. 

On Aug 26, 2021, approximately 10:45 a.m., a 65-lb. mountain lion attacked the boy in his front yard, inflicting wounds to his head, neck and upper torso. The boy’s mother fended off the lion by striking it multiple times. The boy’s parents transported him to a hospital where he was treated for his injuries. He remains in the hospital in stable condition.

Back in the '80s when they were first talking about outlawing mountain lion hunting, a news station interviewed a woman and my caption was her quote.
Before they put the ban in place, you very seldom if ever saw a lion unless you were hunting them. Now that they've lost their fear of humans, the fuckers are popping up all over the place, even in fairly large towns, eating cats and dogs and apparently future liberal voters as well.
