Yeah. Your imagination has been suspect for quite some time.
Imagine lions being in a state without the Fish and Game Dept. even knowing about it. Imagine no comprehension of the number of lions in the habitat. Imagine no open season on lions. Imagine how lions interact with other species.
There has been no season on lions in California in nearly 20 years. Do you have any idea what lions have done to the California deer population? Even before super restricted lion hunting there?
That's a rather common Lost Angeles emotion, isn't it?
That's also rather common in Lost Angeles, isn't it?
But a combined predatory pressure from both bears and increasing lions is something to manage, no?
