To the editor: While I was sad to read of another mountain lion fatality, I greatly appreciated your editorial on the need to protect wildlife from cars and rodenticides. I am in complete agreement with you on this subject.
This is an issue of statewide importance. Wildlife crossings over or under our roads and highways are needed across California. They are certainly needed to connect the Santa Monica Mountains, the Simi Hills, the Santa Susana Mountains, the San Gabriel Mountains and the Verdugo Mountains.
I would like to propose that a portion of one Los Angeles-area freeway be renamed for the mountain lions lost to vehicle strikes on our roadways. It might help motorists realize that they share these great landscapes with other beings that deserve to live unimpeded by humans in a hurry.
