A 4 to 5-year-old mountain lion named"P-56" lived in the western Santa Monica Mountains south of Highway 101, where a local property owner killed him on January 27. Over the past two years the land owner had reported nine attacks that resulted in the loss of 12 animals to the mountain lion, the release said. Mountain lions are designated by California as a"specially protected mammal" and hunting has been banned since 1990, NPS said.
If the feline has killed or injured livestock or pets, a property owner may kill a mountain lion after he or she has used"non-lethal means" to deter the lion, NPS said. The park service has been studying the small population of mountain lions in the Santa Monica mountains for the past 18 years.Read More"The loss of a breeding male is a concern for the study, especially when the population is already very small," said Jeff Sikich, the lead field biologist for the project.
It's called life and death.

I can’t believe Trump forced the governor of California to sign this into state law.
Wow so sad
California releases illegal immigrant sexual predators, but they kill mountain lions... Wow !!! Why is their star on OUR FLAG ? JustFineWith49
Just listened to californias governor on the View yesterday telling about how California was light years ahead of all the other 49 states in how good & moral they are! LOL This says otherwise Gov. Not to mention all the homeless & human waste all over out there! CaliGovCorrupt
GavinNewsom signed this horrendous bill. I will never again speak positively about CA. Human population is crowding out indigenous animal populations to the point of extinction, & you promote it. Shame on you. Shame on your state. When U run for president, I'll vote against U.
And here come PETA..
What’s the problem?
Newsom is trash.
Some people are only happy when they're killing something.
it's been a few years but I seen one in N mo
And yet California doesn’t execute murderers on it’s death row
Idiots
Bad, shift them to other locations. Pls don't kill.
