---------------------- feck the animals BWK .Because we are interrupting their expanding territory needs. They belong there. Millions of houses in the hills of southern California shouldn't be there to begin with. It's an ecological disaster waiting to happen. Mudslides and wildfires are the norm because the land is unstable in the hills to begin with when there are massive rains. We have too many people.but the main problem nowadays are Cougar attacks and some killing of humans in 'southern kalifornia' Flopper .
Male yearling cougars will disperse to stake out their own thirty square mile territory. That is what is going on.
So, what is the solution? Do we yield to the cougar and let him and her have their hills? If we are smart, the answer is yes.
Can we exterminate the cougar? Yes! But it won't do any good. The land itself cannot support homes everywhere in the hills. Nature has proven that for us in the last few decades. So killing the cougar won't solve our problems with living space in S.C.
