I'm Sorry, But This Is Just Funny
According to the NYTImes the super rich up in the Bay area live in a neighborhood that has a few mountain lions. They won't go out, afraid of the lions, and killing the cats is against California law.
That is just delicious! It's a battle to to see who can be the wimpiest. On the one hand we have people afraid of their own shadow and unwilling to venture outdoors on the 1 in a billion chance a big cat will attack. On the other hand we have the "save the animals" crowd so worried about wiping out what is obviously a very robust animal -- I mean after all the cat has adapted well enough to wander into these people's yards. These people absolutely deserve each other.
This really cracks me up

Mr. Lane said he would do the deed himself if it were not against the law. Except in emergencies, the California Department of Fish and Game must approve the killing of mountain lions, which were given special protection by voters in 1990.Mr. Lane -- it's a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of $10,000 and a year in jail -- that's maximum penalty. Anybody that can afford to live in this neighborhood can afford the ten grand, and do you really think a judge is going to throw you in jail for killing a predator in your yard when you have small children -- get a life, if you see the cat - shoot it.
