Yet the enviros will let a few swimmers get eaten by Great Whites off Cape Cod every summer and leave the seals alone.

Not that killing 1100 seals on the Cape would solve anything anyway.

By the way, if you’ve ever had to deal with the sea lions at Fisherman’s Wharf in SF they’re nasty, stinky animals.

Yep, in the last decade or so they’ve been a real problem in some harbors on the west coast from So California to No Oregon.

“But sea lions have learned that fish bunch up at dams and are easy to catch, an opportunity not available when the Columbia was free-flowing.”

BS. I’ve seen hundreds of them lieing on the beach at the mouth of Redwood Creek resting between slauters of salmon coming in. No dams there.

More than 1,100 sea lions could be killed annually along a stretch of the Columbia River
= = =

These sea lions are ‘native Americans.’

More native than the other ‘natives’, I might suggest.

On the Columbia River it’s a real problem at Bonneville Dam. The dam is over a hundred miles from the coast and sea lion numbers have increased at the dam every year for 10 or more years and they have a feast.

Some of the sea lions have even learned to get in the fish ladders in wait for the salmon.

At least salmon is Keto-friendly.

Oh I don’t doubt that. Sea lions are smart. They make it sound like sea lions are not the problem dams are. Those same sea lions are going to eat whether the dams are there or not. If you travel up and down the coast they exhibit the same behavior usually at the mouth of every river and stream.

I would hope they wouldn’t waste the fur/hides or meat.
They should sell tags and let people hunt them.

They keep wondering why the Puget Sound orca whale pods are slowly starving to death.

Whatever could it be?
