Kc and Johnny are talking about shooting protected wildlife.. but that's ok eh?

The problem, pointed out in Time, is that these protected species have
now bred out of control and they are not in any danger anymore.'
Canada Geese, white tail deer and raccoons were never in any danger.
They are simply regulated by hunting regulations and where it is
illegal to hunt, they have become pests.
Municipalities are rethinking those regulations.
Japan is overrun by raccoons and they are destroying ancient buildings
that are thousands of years old.
Black bears have become significant suburban pests in places where
they were unknown for the last 150 years. It only took 30 years for
the "Florida Panther" (AKA cougar/Mountian Lion) to rebound to the
point that they are showing up in people's yards, eating their pets.
It is only a matter of time until they start eating kids.
I guess you all know about the pythons.

California even put more protection on mountain lions this year. They are
not endangered, have decimated the few remaining wild bighorn sheep in this
state. We have several around here. One a couple years ago, was seen on
two different school grounds in the same day. Shopping for lunch? Sort of
like sea lions. Way over protected. Can not even haze them away from an
area. La Jolla Cove in La Jolla is a prime example. People can not use
the cove anymore.

Plus the sea lions are aggressive to people.
