Hopefully that doesn’t lead to the next ballot measure.

Or the removal of the authority of local agencies from the current law by a simple vote of the liberal legislature.

"Fish and Wildlife estimates Washington has 3,350 cougars, a number based on a formula rather than an actual count. The department says it’s not practical to tally cougars and can’t say whether the population is increasing." 

I'd be willing to bet there are that many just on the West side of the State. I know of at least 5 different lions that have been seen in the Hoquiam city limits.  So how many do you think are in the local woods? Or even that venture into the city limits and never get seen?

It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

I don't believe the States numbers. They use to say between 1,900 to 2,100 cougars.
Now they are saying around 3,300. Cougars.

Oregon is about the same size and geographic shape and they say they have 6,500 cougars.

Look at the lies they tell about the wolf situation.
