The enviro-nazis fight killing and relocating sea lions and file lawsuits yearly but they always fail to mention the sea lions are taking advantage of the choke point of the Bonneville Dam fish ladders.

The sea lions stake out the approach to the fish ladders and actually position themselves in the ladders.

Hiya Fred, we all know the enviro-nazis would like nothing better than that and if things don't change we're likely to see it happen.

They taste like a cross between spotted owl and bald eagle.

Well, if we donate a couple of porta-potties to Occupy, they won’t give a damn about any dam.

Yep, there's a sea lion task force and that doesn't include lawyers, federal judges and all the taxpayer dollars that have gone into this fiasco in the last 10 or so years.

It isn't rocket science to figure out the sea lions have to be removed from the base of the dam.

Of course they have to kill the sea lions. The law is the law...the salmon are endangered. The humans beings who are harmed by the "protection' of an endangered species is no big deal...screw 'em......its the minnow or the owl or the salamander or the salmon that are protected here....

...and since all species have 'rights" and are equal in the eyes of some people...therefore the sea lions are no different than mammal humans, the sea lions have to be removed.

...killed if necessary...fair is fair and the law is the law...

You see a salmon ladder. A sea lion sees a sushi bar.
