A story like this really pisses me off because of our needless moratorium on lions. They are hardly endangered, they are much more numberous than previously and they have become a public nuisance. read on~
Deputies kill mountain lions in Yucaipa and Trona

San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies shot and killed two mountain lions on Wednesday, one in the backyard of a Yucaipa home and the other on the porch of a house in Trona.
A homeowner in the 12000 block of 17th Street called for help about 11:40 a.m. after spotting a young mountain lion in the backyard. Officials said the deputy shot and killed the wild cat, who is believed to have eaten several small neighborhood pets in recent days.
The other mountain lion was first spotted on Tuesday near Fifth and F streets in Trona after it ate a pet. Residents said they were concerned for small children who waited at bus stops in the area.
About 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, a resident called deputies because the mountain lion had apparently killed one of her animals and was lounging on her porch.
The cat was still there when deputies arrived, and was shot and killed "in the interest of public safety," officials said.

I will throw my two cents in and say that the deputies acted properly.
This story somewhat proves that lions are numerous and need to be controlled. No?

I think you got it. But, being protected for 35 years, there have been thousands killed, all of them by either nuisance permit contract, or L.E.
That's if you are wondering why the citizens didn't do what needed doing.
In other words, we should have a season on them, a long season. There is no valid scientific reason for maintaining the moritorium.
Good hunting. LB

I understand.
We are having a similar problem with the bear season here.
