Calif. Fish and Game Commissioner Attacked for Legally Hunting Mountain Lion -
In case you haven't heard, California is a little screwed up.
The latest tarnish on the Golden State comes from controversy surrounding California's Fish and Game Commissioner Dan Richards. Richards legally hunted a killed a trophy mountain lion in Idaho last month ending his 5-year quest to shoot a big tom.
"[It was the] most physically exhausting hunt of my lifetime. Eight hours of cold weather hiking in very difficult terrain,” Richards told UT San Diego.
Good for him right?
Well, apparently a handful of animal rights activists as well as California residents aren't so happy for Richards. Among the naysayers, Wayne Parcell, the President of The Humane Society of the United States, attacked Richards saying "He’s supposed to be representing the interests of all California citizens. It seems like such a tone-deaf action. What part of ‘no’ doesn’t he understand.”
Mountain Lion hunting is illegal in California since it was voted down in 1990.
California Assemblyman Jared Huffman said he may try to kick Richards off the commission.
It would take a majority vote from the state Legislature to remove Richards from his post.
Lets hope, for the sake of sanity, that they don't get it.

This is another blatant OVERT attempt by the ULTRA-LEFT, URBAN VEGANS, INNER-CITY ANIMAL RIGHTS and ANTI-GUN/HUNT/FISH lobbies to OUTLAW hunting and fishing from ALL PUBLIC LANDS by stacking a political commission.
I can't wait until their pocket dog gets eaten by a mountain lion or their vegetable garden up-rooted by a wild pig!
And please excuse the double post...have no idea what happened.
Hi...
For outside of CA, I would agree with Yoda.
For inside of CA I would agree with Ishi.
For anything in between...I guess you could say that rank has its privileges...!!

California people...go figure!
If anything the take home message should be that with proper management practices that game animals can be sustainably harvested, and that one day in California they may get that opportunity back.
The State of California kills dozens of nuisance cats every year. What part of "no" does Huffman not understand.
Why should California Assembly butt into this guys private life and what his interests are, ESPECIALLY what he does in another state? If it was legal for him to harvest that mountain lion in Idaho, I don't see what the argument is about then.
Leave the guy alone. Honestly, This is just plain ignorant.
My response to California Assemblyman Jared Huffman; Resign now.. I am sick and tired of our leaders.. misleading. Why would you try to punish someone who is a law-abiding citizen? Apparently, Jared Huffman is from the big city mentality, he does not or chooses not to know about legal hunting rights. California should bring back the hunt for the big cats.. I am tired of feeding the Healthy, Dense California Mountain Lion Population with my Sheep!!! If Jared Huffman has a solution, lets hear it.. otherwise.. stick to the business of the people.
