Let my Pinnipeds Go!

The U.S. Humane Society has taken their case against the lethal removal of Columbia River sea lions to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

An appellate panel on Nov. 6 focused almost exclusively on the contention that the federal government illegally scapegoated salmon-eating California sea lions by allowing their lethal removal from the Columbia River even while endorsing activities that cause greater fish mortality.

Despite the removal of 25 sea lions by lethal measures, or one way tickets to Sea World, sea lion salmon consumption actually went up this year below Bonneville Dam.
