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

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?

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.
