Good! Too many people want to love on these animals because they are reminded of their pet dog. It would work even better for me if some tribe would utilize the animals for their meat and hides.

Why are they killing the sea lions? We don't euthanize the commercial fisherman than are catching these fish. I'm sure the sea lions don't do as near as much damage as the commercial fishing.

but seriously...id love to see how many salmon these seals actually kill. and then compare it to how many salmon commercial fisherman catch.

Bullshit, there have even been a few that get into the fish ladders and just gorge themselves. There a long way from the coast where they belong! Concerned my ass!
