It'd be great if they'd stop putting those huge tracking devices around these mountain lions' necks down in SoCal (and elsewhere). Also, not a fan of banding (UC Berkeley Falcons for example). Extremely traumatizing for the animal.

Knock yourself out: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=banding+day https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=banding+day I believe they also stopped doing it at the Big Bear eagle nest. And for mountain lions: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/13/los-angeles-mountain-lion-griffith-park https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/13/los-angeles-... no mate yet? Hmm wonder if it could be the huge and unnecessary device strapped around its neck.
- googlryas 4y agoSo what you're saying is you don't have a source for this?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoNo offence but you're not going to convince anyone by linking to a YouTube search, of all things. The Guardian link says absolutely nothing about the collar being traumatizing.
