The Calif. F&G is full of **** also. Look at the bad science and the

no danger to the populace? They do not like Burb people? Pleasanton Ridge
has several lions. Lots of hikers and bikers. and is between Pleasanton
with 80,000 people and Hayward with even more.


Show us the facts. EXACTLY how many people can you demonstrate have
been attacked in the area you are blathering about?



I live in the greater San Jose Bay Area too, and every time someone even
spots a hunk of what might be cougar doo-doo, the local snooze stations
go berserk with reports of the incident and the spotting and "useful"
cautions and numbers to call and such. I haven't seen as many reports
from the eastern hills as from around such places as the Stanford campus
area, Los Altos Hills, and just down the street a coupla blocks.
Perhaps the western hill mountain lions are more visible than the ones
up behind the east bay?

Actual number of attacks, a coupla orders of magnitude less than the
number of instances of abject stupidity and use of the word "****".
