Title: SeaLion Removal
Post by: huntnphool on March 10, 2009, 03:47:53 PM: Well its that time of year again, will they try trapping and relocating again or just kill 106 of these *censored*s. I'm sure PETA will be all over it again.

The effect on the sturgeon population is not even brought up. And why do they always have some eco-freak nut job give their opinion with unsubstantiated facts on every news story? So much for balanced news >:(

We could have them dress up like salmon. That way they could get up close and personal with the hungry sea lions in their natural habitat. ;)

Start selling permits! I'd put in for one!
Not sure what I'd do with it... I'm sure it'd be fun as heck to shoot one!

Post by: InsideWDFW on March 14, 2009, 05:20:16 AM: This is a Fish Program deal (I'm Wildlife obviously) but to this day we are in the freaking dark as to how those cages closed last year. We even had a few FBI agents unofficially take a peek at the case, and they left scratching their heads.

And while it would be interesting to see a special draw for sea lions, you think PETA is angry now.. holy crap.

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, sea lion-kabobs, sea lion creole, sea lion gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple sea lion, lemon sea lion, coconut sea lion, pepper sea lion, sea lion soup, sea lion stew, sea lion salad, sea lion and potatoes, sea lion burger, sea lion sandwich. That- that's about it.
