“ These are not nice creatures to start with”
Yup, they don’t call them Sea LIONS for nothing. Saw them over run docks on the Oregon coast. Heard of many people the found that out the hard way trying to pet these cute little critters.
Our country is building large pathways for seasonal creeks to increase Salmon numbers in the Ocean. The reason that there is much less Salmon living is #1 Overfishing and #2 Too many Sea Lions. Kill them every time they “pop up”. In the rivers, on docks, laying about on boats and beaches.
