Post by: Curly on April 23, 2012, 08:38:54 PM: If the tribes can start whackin' sealions I won't ever complain about tribal issues ever again. The sealions need thinned out big-time and somebody needs to stand-up to morons like the HSUS. :twocents:

They whack em all the time and then when one washes up on the beach with a bullet hole to the head people freak out! then an article in the paper comes out implying it was an angry white sportfisherman that must of shot the cute poor defenceless sea-lion :rolleyes:

Yeah the tribes need to start harvesting them and add sea lion steak to their buffet menu at the casino's :tup:

Shoot up the Sea Wolves!

Post by: SeaRun1 on April 24, 2012, 12:22:25 PM: Won't hurt my feelings if the tribes kill a few. I lost my biggest springer of the year Friday to a sea lion only a foot from the net. Still a little pissed...

This same tune and legal battle has been going on since at least late 2002-03 and as long as the sea wolves are protected there is not a whole lot we as Tribes can do because we are not above Fed law.

There have been 10 already dealt with and soon, very soon there will be more meeting there maker and hopefully the umbrella of protection will be lifted and we as Tribes can deal with them lawfully and legally. :tup:
