Not legal "hunting" but legal culling in OR.

Money talks. The Humane Society is pretty big but they came up short against the salmon lobby and a Fed judge.

edit, to specify the difference. Cp = seals OR = sea lions. But you knew that.

This stuff just makes me angry.

I'm getting ready to move back to Texas for my next set of orders, and as much as i'm going to miss the fishing in La Jolla chasing

, I'm so happy to get out of this state and away from these kind of people. I just dont get how people become so dumb and brainwashed to think the way they do, I wish natural selection worked a little more in our favor....

I mean, seals/animals are waaaaaaay more important than people, so we should just let them take over where we like to hang out right?

Humane Society of the USA has been associated with eco-terrorists. So has the head of the save the seals. Gonna be funny someday when this washes out and all the politicians that cozzied up to them are hung out to dry. Google these kooks...

TXYakker's comment got my juices stiring. +

I consider myself an environmentalist, but I totally agree with his point of view on this subject. The problem is that whenever people take up an extreme position, on just about any issue, they get out of touch with the majority. Sure, there are some occasions when a small minority of vocal people with a minority view can convince the majority to the wisdom of their point of view and change the world. The public's change in their support for the Vietnam and Iraq wars over time are good examples of the kind of changes that dedicated advocates can accomplish if their mission is righteous.

The idea of settting aside traditional swimming beaches in La Jolla for the use of seals, (not native to the area, by the way), that were rescued by Sea World, simply does not past the reasonability test. Our politicians are so obcessed with winning re-election, that most of them rarely turn their brain on when it comes to sensitive issues. The simply wet their fingers and stick them in the air to see which way the popular winds are blowing.

I was a lifeguard at both the Casa and the Cove years ago when people, (remember them), were the main visitors at these beaches. It would be a very sad day indeed if human usage of these two treasures is forbidden. I, for one, would happily join the revolution to overthrow those who make these kinds of stupid decisions.
