Who you gonna call?
Mountain lions are predators whose only natural enemy has traditionally been man. Or in this case, woman: Jim and Nell Hamm, who will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary next month, were hiking in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park when the lion pounced.He'll live, thanks to this ballsy woman. Meanwhile, in California (where police are vilified for killing mountain lions that threaten children), another mountain lion has been spotted. In beautiful Beverly Hills, no less! BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Police searching for a mountain lion in Beverly Hills came up empty-handed Saturday, authorities said.Who could blame them? If they found the mountain lion and shot it, the activists would be outraged, and complaints would be lodged against the police. I say, if people can't rely on the cops to shoot mountain lions in Beverly Hills, there's only one solution. Bring back the Clampetts! posted by Eric on 01.27.07 at 03:33 PM

David Baron's book about feline carnivores in Boulder CO, The Beast in the Garden describes the same process: mountains lions add human flesh to their menu, and liberals apologize for our civilization's existence and/or deny that there is really any threat out there at all..... Caius Marcius · January 27, 2007 08:31 PM The best way to be prepared for any attack -- whether by man or animal -- is to be armed. Eric Scheie · January 27, 2007 11:04 PM Tower Road??? AMAZING! That's in one of the canyons between the San Fernando valley and the Westside. It is an EXTREMELY wealthy area. Folks like Elton John and Lucille Ball used to live on Tower. It isn't like this area is unpopulated. There is tons of traffic and noise to make a lion skittish. They have a lot of problems with cayotes, racoons and the like, but I've never heard of a lion in those parts. Shoot the damn thing. It's a LION. Adding the word "mountain" in front of it doesn't make it any less a LION! Mrs. du Toit · January 28, 2007 01:26 AM Post a comment

If you go into the mountains, where mountain lions live, and are not prepared for it, then you deserve what you get. If you build your house deep in the woods, in bear country, you can't complain when bears start rummaging through your garbage. If you go into shark infested waters and are bitten by a shark, guess who's fault it is.
If you don't want your children to be attacked mountain lions, don't send them into the mountains.
