Re: [RC] Wolves not Wolfes/ get real guys - John and Rose Muffett<I also have no sympathy for people who WILLINGLY move into rural area;> our 1,600 acre ranch right here has been owned by our family for many many years. and so has our other land across theis state. over-population is a problem here with the cougar, they multiply in fact they have moved into the city from what i hear. just the other day on the news parents were advised in certain areas to escort their children home from the school bus stops because a large cougar was seen prowling in the city. this surely wasn't a <someone moving into Mt. Lion range> several years ago! It's called over population of those cats. we worked hard for our land - very hard, we pay a lot of taxes too. we are timber ranchers - and yes we do cut trees as well, we replant and thin our land. <This goes for people who think it is okay to move into a pristine area; (like ones I know) have 50 cats, and 30 inbreeding pigs running amouk and tearing up every bit of turf and native vegetation....when the Mt.

Just 18 horses and 40+ head of cattle - 3 dogs too. < the Nature Conservancy has BOUGHT up lot of land with endangred and rare species....not near enough land in my book.> One day you might just not have a trail left to ride on!

*I have pretty much stayed out of this; as I have never "ranched" to raise livestock, I can offer no experience with predator attacks. However, I will say I feel it would be a truly pathetic world with only livestock and domestic pets left. Not one I would want to live in. We are seeing mass extinction of world species at an alarming rate....both to global changes, loss of habitat and ignorant people, and reasons we don't know yet. . There has to be some science behind decisions and more than a pinch of common sense. I also have no sympathy for people who WILLINGLY move into rural area; areas with known predators, then cry when their pet kitty is eaten. I think someone moving into Mt. Lion range had better keep a constant eye on small children and keep pets inside. This goes for people who think it is okay to move into a pristine area; (like ones I know) have 50 cats, and 30 inbreeding pigs running amouk and tearing up every bit of turf and native vegetation....when the Mt. Lion kills one of those inbred; diseased pig, demand the county trapper come shoot it. I have no sympathy for the people. I hate to say it Rose, sounds like you want to eliminate anything that does not fit into your "ranch business." Eliminate ALL the predators....what is going to happen to the rodent population on your place?. Oh, just have the 50 feral cats to take care of that (and also the cats will eridicate every native bird, lizard and snake in your area too....) Wait, but you say you love the land....I am confused.... Also. for your info.....the Nature Conservancy has BOUGHT up lot of land with endangred and rare species....not near enough land in my book.
