LOL Cuddly sea puppies should be rapidly approached by all liberals. Touching is encouraged. The mothers seem to like it when you pet the little ones.

Pretty tiny elephant seal. Try that around here and you’ll get crushed. And then fined by Uncle Sam for bothering the seal.

What is funny is the penguins walking around in the background — they look just like people having a day at the beach...

Look, post pics of Michael Moore and his wife during their intimate moments on some other forum, okay? This is supposed to be a classy place where we don’t tolerate that.

It is a wild animal that could have torn her face off.

Humans are not supposed to interact like this with wild life. Although it is a cute video, it could result in the animal’s death or a human’s death. Not cool.

You’re right — the penguins are pretty funny. Very people like. Almost expect them to start tossing a beach ball around.

I am pretty sure what she did is illegal in the USA.

I agree. As ‘’cute’’ as we may think such large, powerful animals are, they don’t understand ‘’cute’’. They’ve just got millions of years of evolution and instinct hard-wired into them and they can and do re-act in very unpredictable ways, especially around we humans.

It is illegal for a reason - to protect the cute little critters.

Although the video caught an adorable and idealistic human interaction with wild life, I know the outcome of that interaction is not necessarily a happy one for the animal or an unsuspecting human attacked by the confused animal in the future.

It’s like feeding the cute bears...which an idiot neighbor of mind was doing unbeknownst to us in Pennsylvania. The bear ended up being shot while attacking a dog (who was protecting a kid) in the neighborhood. Now this kind of behavior has a whole new meaning to me. Wild animals are not cute and do not have the capicity to “love” humans; they are wild. Not all humans are trustworthy, either.
