(AP) — State Sen. Ernie Chambers is warning that he will oppose every proposal the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission brings to the Legislature as long as it allows mountain lions to be hunted.

Chambers, of Omaha, issued the warning Friday to Roger Kuhn, parks division administrator.

Kuhn was before the Legislature’s Executive Board with two requests to accept donations of land and a playground structure. Chambers said he would vote against the requests, because he is upset that the Game and Parks Commission has approved a mountain lion hunting season for next year.

Chambers said he considers mountain lions “to be regal animals.”
