"I would argue that people reduction is more critical at this point."
Be patient. Wait until next month. President Trump intends to trap and relocate a whole bunch of people.

Brandon, you left off a 'D' at the end.
What Would Jim Donini Do? I know he's already chimed in but talk is cheap.

Cougars are always attacking me.
I often let them.
Beware of Canadian cougars, as they are exceptionally dangerous:

Oh sure...first the Lions came for the Alpacas, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Alpaca.
Then they came for the Llamas, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Llama.
Then they came for the cows, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a cow.
Then they came for me—as there was no food left, those F***ing Lions had already eaten all the dogs, cats, goats and Guinea Pigs.

Besides, the woman who pulled the permit says she won't kill it now. http://www.dailynews.com/environment-and-nature/20161201/rancher-says-she-will-not-kill-mountain-lion
Smart lady quoted: "“The point was never to kill the animal,” said Victoria Vaughn-Perling during a late morning news conference at her Malibu hills ranch home, with a backdrop of more than a dozen alpaca spared by the cat” but to call attention to the issue and “try to get it relocated.” “I’m not looking for revenge for my alpaca,” she added. Vaughn-Perling, who uses the fur of the alpaca to make scarves, lost 10 of her alpaca on her property in a mountain lion attack Saturday — the fourth such attack on the animals since November of last year, she said."...
She's a better person than I. I'd be looking for sweet sweet revenge for sure! That f*#ker would be dead faster than any of you Californians could say "double shot skim soy latte" if that was Couchmasters livestock being repeatedly ravaged...

Go up against a lion without one of your firearms and see who is the fittest. It's not an even playing field but, no worries....other life forms will occupy the earth long after we are gone.

Yet Ruth Gomez, who raised alpacas at her eight-acre Malibu ranch for nearly two decades before selling her last one this week, said she never had lions invade. To ward off predators, she used larger llamas as guardians, along with a pack of loud, powerful dogs and motion-sensing lights.
“We know that the cougars like to hunt in stealth, so we made it noisy and bright,” Gomez, 73, said. “We would never kill a cougar. That’s stupid.”

Maybe you could have a two for one. Call in the Mt Lion and Woot Boi to have a meeting and see if you can get them both to listen to reason and stop their foolishness.

Dogs do a pretty good job. Some dogs. Lions don't want problems they just want to live their lives & be left alone. If they see two large dogs that work together they are going somewhere else.
Donkeys are bad a##.

Slightly off topic. While I support all the wolves, and mountain lions, there is a problem in the Santa Monicas. The lions are in a relatively confined area. That's why P-22 left. There is a serious problem of inbreeding.
The NPS says they can't move the lions. I don't buy that. There is talk of building an animal bridge over the 101 near Liberty Canyon. So what's the difference if the lions use the bridge and disperse on their own, or if the NPS moves them?

Moving large animals almost always turns out bad. That's why they have outlawed it in most places.
Tied up dogs aren't able to work together. How could you even equate the two.
Dogs that protect need to be free to do there work, like the Great Pyrenees above.
