While California does nothing about its horrific budget deficit, state Democrats are up in arms, so to speak, over the president of an advisor to the states Fish and Wildlife Commission for legally hunting and eating mountain lions in Idaho. It offends the Twinkie-banners, apparently. The man in question seems unrepentant:
Mr. Richards, a real-estate broker in Upland, Calif., declined to comment for this article. In a letter he sent Tuesday to Mr. Hueso, Mr. Richards wrote: “Do you really think a California Commissioner is actually obligated to follow California laws across these United States? Really?”
Responding to criticism from some animal-rights activists that he killed the animal only for sport, Mr. Richards wrote: “we did dine on Mountain Lion for dinner” and added: “I will continue to hunt and fish wherever I please…There is ZERO chance I would consider resigning my position.”
