A landowner gets a state permit to hunt the last male lion in the Santa Monica mountains.
"...a land speculator received a permit this week to hunt down the last male mountain lion in the Santa Monica Mountains after losing five goats." ..."The risk of losing the lone male set off frantic phone calls among biologists, wildlife activists and state officials, and illustrates the tenuous hold that mountain lions have in Southern California's quickly vanishing wildlands...'We've spend millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to protect habitat for wild animals like lions, but we don't teach people who live on the urban fringe what to do in their backyards,'"
