Sea Lions Killing Off A Species?


DIE SEA LION FIEND!!

Above the spillways of Bonneville Dam, Darrell Schmidt patrolled with his shotgun, drawing a bead on furry brown California sea lion heads popping up from the Columbia River and blasting off a beanbag round.

All spring he was part of a nonlethal, and not very effective, effort to keep the federally protected animals from gobbling threatened spring chinook salmon as they schooled up at the dam's fish ladders en route to upriver spawning grounds.

Of course, the REASON these fish are threatened is because of man's overfishing.
Am I the only one who sees the parallel between this and how we are dealing with global warming and emerging economies?
