  Animals in the Blogs & News: Sea Lions, Salmon, & Self-Criticism

  Hello,
  I must admit, I enjoy smoked salmon, baked salmon, etc.  When I was a kid, I thought sea lions were 'really cute', but like any wild animal, they can prove to be ugly.  What I have noticed is that the sea lion is as greedy as the commercial fisherman.  The average fisherman who has to buy a sport license, a boat license, fish food license, parking permit, and then can only catch a few, during a changing season. . . I think a bit of legislation, regarding ALL fishers, human/animal should be looked into.  The salmon that eat all of the fingerlings at Bonneville Dam in Oregon/Washington, which WE all pay for, is another matter.  You see, you might as well feed the sea Lions $10, $20, etc.
  Give it another thought. please.
