A wonderful story!
California seems to be functioning quite well without the need to hunt mountain lions for sport. There are millions of people and much overlap between habitat and development, yet positive leadership by wildlife decision makers and the willingness of the public to adapt their own behavior to avoid attracting mountain lions indicates that some degree of co-existence is possible. It also leads to compassionate and constructive actions when one of these magnificent creatures just needs a helping hand. Please enjoy this story!
