I suspect there’s a market for a video game that focused on killing endangered species and brutalizing enviroweenies.

I saw a t-shirt in the window of a store in Pismo Beach, CA no less, that said "Save the Trees Wipe Your Ass With a Spotted Owl." So I think you are on to something.....

Beak placement is a crucial factor to the success of that product.

Go for it. I was having this conversation with some folks last night. There’s every manner of violent video games out there with blood, death, murder, etc. that society accepts and doesn’t bat an eye.

Market one that skewers their sacred environmental cows and there’d be outrage.

Here’s another, create one that is the cyber equivalent of Karl Rove’s weather machine. Flood them out in coastal areas. cause famines in Europe, war in Asia all the while the USA is surging in prosperity.

I was thinking a murder/suicide. Maybe a jealous rage. I’d also check to see if at least one of the seals was on prozac.

In a fit of depression over the Wright Obama saga, a group of seals and sea lions formed a suicide pact to end it all before Hillary overtook Obamao...the thought was...more then they could Bear....

“We need to spend 10 or maybe 15 billion dollars on this problem. Are the seals stressed? We just do not know. I can take control of this obvious crisis. I need 125.5 million dollars to set up my research center. There was a great thread on bad beer so I really want to see the effects of drunk guys on fish and/or mammals. I will need a brewery and the swedish bikini team to make sure we have drunk guys. Hmm..I really don’t need you guys.”

I am world famous for the study I did on blind lesbian ground squirrels and I brew great beer. Oh, and I’m married so you ca have the Swedish bikini team. I only need one million a year for expenses.

Better they shot the Sea Lions than the idiots that made them protected species.

I remember some comments here on FR criticizing the locals for not taking action a long tome ago. Government controlled by envrio extremists has all the blame.

How do we know the seals didn’t shoot themselves?


We are not at this time going to make a statement. It is fragile. Ther are several factors that you have not concidered. Was it a spawn Of Flipper? We just do not know. I need $1633.44 for the initial investigation. That will only cover the beer for my team, so we will have to raise your taxes a whole lot. But it is for the ____

Hmm prozac or all of the birth control hormones that flow into the river left them confused and feeling blue, they decided to end it all but Willie the Otter chickened out...

I got it! The mistook the wake of a nearby boat for the tail of a comet and initiated their suicide pact.

As a person who has seen the Sea Lion problem, and there is a problem, up close I would say this was done by someone highly pi**** off about sea lions. They are obnoxious animals, in Fort Bragg, California they will attack people who come onto the docks. They lay around terrorizing people and eat the he** out of what fish there are. People who live around them are not to fond of them for the most part.

People are getting tired of animals who are not endangered being on the list, and now they want to add Polar Bears, who are in no danger what so ever of becoming extinct any time soon.

Some people think it is time to think of people welfare a little more and to stop worrying about animal welfare a little less.

Remember this is California so are you sure beer is what you need? Wine may be more appropriate.

How do we know the enviro-nuts didn't shoot them in order to place blame on local fishermen and garner sympathy for more federal protection for the seals and everything else wild?

Apparently you are not aware that CA is full of beer drinking rednecks. It is just that at elections we are outnumbered by illegals and dead Democrats.

Sea Lions, Palestinians of the *Pacific*.

Just a misunderstood, aquatic breed of peace.

The Federal Government has issued a statement that it definitely wasn’t terrorism.
