2 Salmon-Eating Sea Lions Killed at Bonneville Dam

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/salmon-eating-sea-lions-killed-bonneville-dam-16085292
PORTLAND, Ore. April 6, 2012 (AP)

 A Washington state wildlife spokesman says two salmon-eating California sea lions have been captured this week at Bonneville Dam and killed by lethal injection.

The Oregonian reports the deaths are the first this year after a federal judge ruled last month the program could proceed.
 
Washington Fish and Wildlife spokesman Craig Bartlett says the sea lions were captured Tuesday.
 
The killings are limited to California sea lions documented as targeting spring chinook or steelhead near Bonneville, the first dam the returning fish encounter on their run up the Columbia River.
 
The sea lions also must return to the dam despite nonlethal hazing and be spotted nearby for at least five days, though the days can accumulate over several years.
 
The Humane Society of the United States has filed suit in an effort to permanently end the sea lion killings.

They need to hit their quota this week before the Humane Society gets another court injunction to halt it.  Why don't they save everyone thousands and let boaters apply for permits to harvest them.  I would get a half mount or a head mount done if they legally allowed me to harvest one.  The meet would be donated to the Humane Society to feed those dogs they uthanize everyday.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

That is a step in the right direction.  Now if they could kill a couple thousand more......... :tup:

WTH is up with this lethal injection b.s.  :dunno:          Why can't they just shoot them?  ???
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

heck , if they shot them it would only cost a few cents for the .22 round. i bet they spend a couple hundred each to give them a shot with the needle.  :bash:

all ya gotta do is take a .22 with cb shorts with ya fishin next time. i hear if ya shoot one they sink like a rock.
The only person who has failed is the one who never tried.
