30 years ago you could see maybe 2 or three sea lions at Yaquina Bay, 120 miles south of the Columbia River. Now, they are about 115 miles upstream. Since they are federally protected, none are ever shot...in port or with witnesses around. The environmental whackos are still trying to have the very same runs of salmon that the sea lions are eating added to the protected list because of low returns. I am all for controlled harvests to thin their population before they do "seriously" impact fish runs.

We had sea lions hanging around the Ballard Locks. Word is they were relocated to Florida, or some such place.
Our local radio guys did a parody of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and called it "Sea Lion Eats Tonight". Very funny song.

When animals stop eating each other, then we can talk about humans stopping eating animals.

Solutions for several problems have presented themselves. Lighting is a problem due to enviro-mental freaks having dams removed, so shoot seals and use the fat for light. It works for the Inuit.
Eat the seals. Again, it works for the Inuit.
And seals do make warm coats. Once again, works for Inuit nad trophy wives.
All the above won't work for PETAPersons. All the more reason to do it.

One of the more enjoyable sights near my folks place in Colorado is a fish hatchery for the trout on the Gunnison River. The Eagles think its a buffet.

They're Sea Lions. Capture them and haul them
back to the ocean -- way out into the ocean.

You see a fish ladder with the river spilling over it. A sea lion sees a sushi conveyor belt.

IMO, they shouldn't just shoot this sea lion or dispatch him quickly.
They should capture him, torture him, make an example of him to the other sea lions, then kill him.
All right-t-t-t-t, I was jus-s-s-s-t kidding. Really.
