I live in Los Angeles, and a lot of people own guns here, too. There are some people who own pit bulls, too. The most effective weapon against a pit bull is a so-called saturday night special. Also, some people have been mauled by mountain lions recently in neighboring
Orange County:
"A mountain lion was shot by authorities late Thursday after two bicyclists were attacked in an Orange County wilderness park, one of them a woman who was dragged and injured. The body of a man who may have been mauled by the same animal also was found nearby, authorities said.
"Last September, game wardens shot and wounded an aggressive mountain lion spotted near an equestrian center in San Juan Capistrano. A second lion was seen, but along with the first was never found.
"The threat of mountain lions has become an increasing problem in Southern California as development encroaches upon rural areas that have been home to various animals.
"In 1986, 5 -year-old Laura Small was attacked while looking for tadpoles with her mother in Ronald W. Caspers Wilderness Park in Orange County.
"The girl's mother was able to rescue her daughter whose skull was partially crushed by the mountain lion's jaws. She was left blind in one eye and paralyzed on her right side.
"Months later, a 6-year-old boy was mauled in the same park. County supervisors closed most of the park to children for nearly a decade. The ban was lifted in December 1997."
Not all predatory animals are lawyers, you see.
