Good news. Shoot a few hundred more already

[Sacajaweau]

In the meantime, God is taking care of the pythons and iguanas in Florida.

Perhaps suicide is your answer. Just saying.

[humblegunner]

It's more environmentally friendly to beat them to death.

The harmful effects of spent brass on the ecosystem is well known.

[B Knotts]

These things are basically oversized rats which are destroying fisheries.

[Rio]

Five is a good start.

[PGR88]

Is that a hate crime now?

[pissant]

Only enforced if a man kills one though. If an Orca or shark eats one, it’s OK

[CholeraJoe]

Sea lions have been known to swallow spent bullets and die horrible painful deaths from lead poisoning, just like millions of waterfowl and golden eagles. /sarc

Stupid post....you live under a rock or something?

[Justa]

Exactly. Their damage to the ecosystem far outweighs whatever benefit they may have. The people who defend them would likely just as soon ban rat traps. They’re usually the who don’t have to put up with the damage the animals inflict. In the NE the seals are decimating the shellfish and inshore fisheries.

[Cicero]

Maybe they offended the Mexican drug cartels or were caught spying on some meth makers.

[dennisw]

The rest are California sea lions......
My wild guess is some pissed off Indians plugged them. Indians there have a big salmon fishing business and sea lions love to eat them

My wild guess

[bray]

The things are pests, but they look cute so their protected.

[mickey finn]

When they find the heroic shooter, send him up to Bonneville Dam to continue his environmental activism. The springers will be running soon, and the fish eating fur balls need to be kept at bay.

A baby seal walks in to a bar.
Bartender asks ‘what will you have”?
Seal says “anything but a Canadian Club”

[Justa]

Actually, it’s rather humane to club them before stabbing them through the heart -as shown.

[scottdeus12]

“...stabbing them through the heart -as shown.”

shown where?

[B Knotts]

Well, I just think that if we allowed a reasonable harvest, we could keep things in balance.

Also, look at what the sea lions did to the clam population on the Central Coast of California.

[irishtenor]

I live in West Seattle... but I didn’t do it!
