n March, the National Marine Fisheries Service granted Washington, Oregon and Idaho the authority to remove up to 85 identified California sea lions annually in an effort to reduce the animals’ impact on protected fish.
So now the Humane Society and two private citizens. Have an appeal in SAN Fran (fago) sico, to outlaw the (how do I put it nicely) killing of any Marine Mammals
The states' first priority is to relocate as many of the identified California sea lions as possible to federally approved zoos and aquariums. So far, placements have been found for up to 20 sea lions.
The states’ plan to relocate animals was not affected by today’s ruling by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that temporarily prohibits using lethal means to deter predation on protected salmon and steelhead by California sea lions. The court is expected to hear arguments on that issue in early May.
Hey let me pull a Longtat. I just want to rave. I f**kin called it. We hunt\fish and some
