[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 438508, member: 24569"] I only recently discovered this practice of the Oregon Fish and Game Department. They capture, tag, and brand sea lions with a number, then track them around the area of the Columbia River entrance. This is done to supposedly protect the salmon population. If the sea lions are eating the precious, semi-endangered salmon, they are first harassed, then transported away, and finally euthanized if they are "repeat offenders." Never mind that fishermen are alowed to harvest a great deal more of the salmon than the sea lions eat, and that the salmon is their natural food. I took this picture of this sea lion way down in Encinitas, in Southern California. I think it's really sad that 232V is branded in huge type across his entire side. I'm glad he's no longer anywhere near the Columbia River, though. [ATTACH=CONFIG]149816._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
