Given the multitude of problems facing California this is an asinine thing to focus on. Rather than hoping for a celebrity mountain lion in your neighborhood you should probably focus on the problems endangering humans in your state.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoHere's the thing: sometimes focus itself is the first step towards any progress, which serves as a toe-hold which can branch out from the most seemingly silly exercises to what you really feel is a priority. I say this considering a friend who once lamented the early space program was a waste of money, as he wore his advanced polymer clothing at work on microprocessors and GPS satellite and RF communication advances. It felt pretty ironic.
- argc 4y agoI'd rather focus on the environment and biodiversity, you can feel free to focus on humans.
- pvaldes 4y agoIs the same focus. Pumas would reduce the number of deer collisions that kill many people each year. Thus, they are making the roads safer for people. Saving lifes and property. Moreover, each time there is a car crash, somebody in the road must allocate resources to clean and deal with it. Call the police, ambulances... This is expensive also. Less collisions for the city means having more money for another needs.

- dkjaudyeqooe 4y agoCalifornians seem too be doing fine compared to where you live since that seems to be populated with people who think humans are unable to work towards more than one goal at a time. No wonder California is the home to do many advanced industries and companies, the people there have a superpower!
