    I've lived in seven different states, each for several years, and San Diego by far has the highest quality of life for humans and the most wildlife I've seen on a daily basis. Got up yesterday and walked from my house at the lagoon, saw a sea turtle and red-tailed hawk, and I saw a bobcat on a bike trail last week, again on a ride from my house. We see whales, dolphins, ospreys, hummingbirds, snakes, coyotes, mule deer, etc. on a daily basis (for some) and most on a weekly or monthly basis. And I live in the suburbs three miles from the ocean, not in the middle of nowhere. This is a needed story to be told.

Being from the Midwest, the squirrels and rabbits are actually much less common to see here, so I actually get excited to see them now 😂 Saw more raccoons downtown than in the "wild," but they're wonderful too!

    Born and raised in El Cajon. We used to have alot of Trees many Beautiful big big Native Trees that are no longer their bcuz they cut them almost all down. Many went Extinct some survived bcuz they turned El Cajon into a Farmland then that Failed so they turned into a Big City. Some of these Trees Produced Nuts and we used to eat them as kids.
    We used to have alot of Red Tailed Hawks, Blue Jays, Quails, Ducks, Bats, White Owls (Sea Gulls Suprisingly) Humming Birds, *Sparrows●Crows●Pigeons* were the most Common. EC is also where those Green Parrots come from but they're not indiginous to the area but they are now i guess.... (theyre from Mexico or South America i think) They were brought here by some Foriegner and released by that guy in the Granite Hills High School Area back in the early to mid 90s. They also now frequent Imperial Beach, Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla and now theyre even in LA. San Diego is Beautiful.
    According to my ancestors San Diego used to be better bcuz we used to have Jaguars here but they were killed off in part of the Dark and Silenced History of the USA.

      Thank you for saying this; it's important to appreciate the nature we still have, but also essential to remember the nature that's been lost to development. We must work collectively to find ways to preserve what nature remains (and if we can, bring back some of what was lost); it's what makes San Diego so special and ecologically important.

We must not allow him, nor any other torturer of animals get away with only a slap on the wrist. If any of you care, please fight that real justice be met! Keep this story alive, ask for better animal protection laws, continue to protest until he is given server jail time for his awful crimes. Don’t let Thea die in vain! Demand that her murderer is brought to justice. That’s what it means to be a Wildlife Warrior!

For example, San Diego has one of the largest urban natural parks in the country. You can hike it, and in some areas, you won't even see a building or a power line.
