  California Cougars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
About half of California is prime mountain lion country.  This fact is a surprise to many residents and visitors.  These large, powerful predators have always lived here, preying on deer and other wildlife, and playing an important role in the ecosystem.
In California, some 5,000 mountain lions are estimated to inhabit the coastal mountains, northern forests, Sierra Nevada and southern deserts.  An accurate census is impossible to make because the big cats are stealthy, roam enormous territories and are solitary.
Cougars have four toes on each paw and three distinct lobes at the base of each heel pad.

In the case of cougars, estimating populations is extremely difficult because of their elusive behavior, vast range sizes in California, and difficulties in using traditional wildlife population estimation techniques (such as mark/recapture) on such large and ferocious animals.
Overall, the tenor of California cougar coverage in the Los Angeles Times during the last decade was supportive of legal protections for the state=s cougar population.

 Cougars
With the exception of the Florida panther, cougars are not endangered at this time, but the possibility of endangerment is growing due to habitat destruction, which is an increasing problem.
Florida and California have issued laws restricting the hunting of these animals, as well as a few other states who have issued hunting seasons for cougars; however Texas, which is probably one of the most abundant dwelling lands of the cougar has no restrictions and no regulations pertaining to the slaughter of these animals.

 Trophy Hunting of Mountain Lions: A History of Deception
Fifteen years later, in 1985, the legislature was still convinced of the value of protecting California's cougars, and passed legislation that would have extended the moratorium on trophy hunting while biologists measured the lion population in California.
When the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) tried to open a lion hunting season, citizen groups blocked the hunt in court, where a judge held that the department had not adequately assessed the lion population before deciding that there were huntable numbers.
It finally became clear that the people of California needed to send a clear message to their elected and appointed officials that trophy hunting of mountain lions is a cruel and inhumane way to manage lion populations.
