Anyone see this in the newspaper. Happened in the northwest. In the middle of a salmon river. The feds are looking into it. Probably tear someone, the only agent, off the "wheres Whitey Bulger investigation?"

It's a start !
:hidin:

Let me tell you something about the salmon fishermen of Maine they don't mess around and if anything gets in the way of them catching there salmon they get pretty nasty.

it will be a growing trend that starts in the Northwest and moves to the Northeast

Just glad they weren't NAVY Seals

oh man, here we go....
now why the hell are they protected anyway? just because they are a sea mammel?

We need to send them back up north the polar bears are starving.Wish the great whites had internet and reports on the seals migration patterns and evolution so they could stop them say before they enter waters off the East Coast of US.Keep em in Canada and further up.

maybe Raven could design a seal pin:jester: ...say 1 pin for every dozen harvested

In Oregon, federal authorities now say that six sea lions found dead in traps near the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River were not killed by gunshots. Officials initially pointed the finger at salmon fisherman angry that their livelihood was being gobbled up.

After necropsies and x-rays, the weekend deaths of the animals — which included two endangered Steller sea lions and one California sea lion pup — are a mystery. No evidence of recent gunshots was found, although there were indications of previous firearms injuries: metal fragments in soft tissue near the necks of two animals and a metal slug in the blubber of one. Possible bite wounds also were found.

The body of a seventh sea lion was found yesterday farther downstream, near Portland. It's not yet known how it died.

Wouldn't if PETA will get that update?

Wouldn't it be easier to just kill off the other fishermen?
They're all fat and stuck on the internet b**ching about everything anyhow.

Just run up to them and "OOGA BOOGA" blamo. Instant heart attack.
