Cuddly cute fuzzy sea lion, who in days gone by attacked commercial fishermens’ nets - ripping the fish out and leaving pieces, and thus receive a load of double ought buck saving lives and livelihoods.
I worked on an albacore boat one summer. I could not believe how much the captain loathed sea lions. Told me not to even think of tossing them anchovies (we had two tanks full of them). As far as he was concerned the only good sea lion was a dead one.
