Post by: Bango skank on February 13, 2020, 01:10:14 PM: So california, a state infested with lions, wants to further protect them by limiting development so that southern california can also be infested with lions. Amazing. I really put no level of stupidity past those people. But hey, maybe if the socal lion population explodes theyll get a taste for illegals. Let the lions guard our border.

A family of 20 lions actually made me laugh. If it wasn’t so stupid I guess it would be funny. They are screwed down there with that way of thinking

Post by: TheStovePipeKid on February 18, 2020, 12:07:03 PM: I wonder what the new narrative will be now that the attacks on children are on the rise. They usually mention the rarity of attacks and "urban sprawl" invading "their" habitat. With more frequent attacks in rural and urban environments it's time to come up with a new common sense statement to regurgitate every time someone brings up predetor management.
