The 1990 law outlawed sport hunting of mountain lions and even prevented the Department of Fish and Game from thinning the lion population. Proposition 197 was rejected by a large margin, probably because the debate turned into a struggle be- tween hunting and antihunting factions.

Headings help The once-endangered mountain lion readers follow To early Native Americans, mountain lions--also the organization. known as cougars, pumas, and panthers--were objects of reverence. The European colonists, however, did not share the Native American view. They conducted what Ted Page 19 of 33

Resurgence of the mountain lion In western states today, the mountain lion is no longer in danger of extinction. In fact, over the past thirty years, the population has rebounded dramati- cally. In California, fish and game officials estimate that since 1972 lion numbers have increased from 2,400 to at least 6,000 (“Lion” A21).

In 1992, Hornocker estimated that at least eighteen adults were living in the park (59). In the United States as a whole, some biologists estimate that there are as many as 50,000 mountain lions, a dramatic increase over the 1969 estimate of 6,500 (Williams 30).

Lion authority John Seidensticker reports signal phrase. that when he worked for the National Zoo in Washington, DC, he regularly observed cats stalking children who passed by the lion cages (120). Since 1986, four children have been attacked in California (“Mountain” 7). One of these attacks was se- rious enough to prompt officials to place Caspers Wilderness Park off-limits to children (Tran B8). In July 1997 alone, two attacks on children, one fatal, occurred in different national parks in Colorado (McPhee A1). In California, the state where the lion is most fully protected, 1994 was a particularly bad year. Los Angeles Times writer Tony Perry reports that two women were killed by lions in 1994 and that the year brought a dramatic increase in mountain lion sightings, “many in suburban and urban areas where the animal had previ- ously not been spotted” (B4). With two killings in one year and an increasing number of sightings, it is not surprising that California politicians responded with Proposition 197, aimed at repealing the ban on hunting the lions.

Supporters of Proposition 197 were not above exag- gerating the dangers posed by mountain lions, prefer- ring lurid accounts of maulings and killings to solid statistics. For example, writing on the Internet in an attempt to sway voters, Terrence M.

A Web page written by a coalition of Page 23 of 33
- 25. Garcia 6 wildlife preservationists is typical. Calling Proposi- tion 197 “a special interest trophy hunting measure,” the coalition claims that the Gun Owners of California, the NRA, and the Safari Club “rammed” the proposition onto the ballot while “hiding behind a disingenuous concern for public safety.” Asserting that the mountain lion poses a minimal threat to humans, the coalition accuses the Department of Fish and Game of “creating a climate of fear” so that the public will choose to re- instate lion hunting (California Wildlife Protection Internet source with no page Coalition). While it is true that human encounters with number. mountain lions are rare, some pro-lion publications come close to ridiculing Californians who fear that lion attacks on humans and pets will continue to accel- erate unless something is done. Population control: A reasonable solution Without population control, the number of attacks on Californians will almost certainly continue to rise, and the lions may become even bolder. As lion authority Credentials of author men- John Seidensticker remarks, “The boldness displayed by tioned in signal mountain lions just doesn’t square with the shy, retir- phrase. ing behavior familiar to those of us who have studied these animals” (177). He surmises that the lions have become emboldened because they no longer have to con- tend with wolves and grizzly bears, which dominated them in the past. The only conceivable predator to re- instill that fear is the human. Sadly, the only sure way to reduce lion attacks on humans is to thin the population. One basic approach to thinning is sport hunting, which is still legal, though restricted in various ways, in every western state ex- cept California. A second approach involves state- Page 24 of 33
- 26. Garcia 7 directed wildlife management, usually the hiring of professional hunters to shoot or trap the lions. Sport hunting is a poor option--and not just be- cause it is unpopular with Californians. First, it is difficult to control sport hunting. For instance, a number of western states have restrictions on killing a female lion with kittens, but sport hunters are rarely knowledgeable enough to tell whether a lion has kit- tens. Second, because some sport hunters are poor shots, they wound but don’t kill the lions, causing needless suffering. Finally, certain hunting practices are anything but sport. There is a growing business in professionally led cougar hunts, as a number of ads on the World Wide Web attest. One practice is to tree a lion with radio-equipped dogs and then place a phone call to the client to come and shoot the lion. In some cases, the lion may be treed for two or more days be- fore the client arrives to bag his trophy. Such prac- tices are so offensive that even the California Park Rangers Association opposed Proposition 197.

We should entrust the thinning of the lion popula- tion to wildlife specialists guided by science, not to hunters seeking adventure or to safari clubs looking for profits. Unlike hunters, scientific wildlife man- agers have the long-term interests of the mountain lion at heart.

Stephani Cruick- shank, a spokesperson for California Lion Awareness (CLAW), explains, “The overrun of lions is biologically unsound and unfair to the lions, especially those forced to survive in marginal or clearly unnatural ur- ban settings” (qtd. in Robinson 35). In conclusion, wildlife management would benefit The writer con- cludes with his both Californians and the California lions.

As for the lions, they need to thrive in a natural habitat with an adequate food supply. “We simply cannot let nature take its course,” writes Terry Mansfield of the Department of Fish and Game (qtd. in Perry B4).

Mike Easley today named Eulada P. Watt of Charlotte and Kevin D. Howell of Raleigh, to the North Carolina State Board of Education. Members of the board are appointed to eight-year terms. “Eulada Watt has been a powerful advocate for education at all levels,” said Easley. “She brings a depth and breadth of experience that will help us move forward in improving the lives of our children, and by extension, our communities and our great state.” Watt is a Special Assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) serving as a liaison to university departments and community organizations. She also is Executive Director of Minbanc Foundation, Inc., which provides training scholarships to employees of minority and women-owned banks to advance their professional expertise and personal skills. Watt served eight years in the Clinton administration as a Special Assistant in the U.S. Department of Education. She was employed for more than 21 years in education in Charlotte, including 15 years in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools in counseling and instructional leadership positions in K-12 settings. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Fisk University, a Masters of Education degree in counseling psychology from Columbia University and a Certification in Educational Administration from UNCC. Watt is married to North Carolina Congressman Mel Watt (D-NC, 12th District). Watt fills the position on the State Board of Education formerly held by Jane Norwood, whose term expired in March 2007. Kevin Howell assumes the position on the board formerly held by Edgar Murphy III, whose term also expired in March 2007. “Kevin is a gracious public servant dedicated to improving the state’s public education system and the future for our children,” said Easley. “His commitment will be an asset to the State Board of Education.” Howell is assistant to the chancellor for external affairs for North Carolina State University. As one of 10 executive officers for the university, he is responsible for providing information to state, county and city leaders on the mission and goals of N.C. State. Prior to taking his position at N.C. State, Howell served as Gov. Easley’s legislative liaison. Howell also served as legislative liaison to former Gov.
