I guess overpopulation would be too simple a theory?

There is something going on over there.

I lived in southern california for 2.5 years. Since my departure, I have caught snippets of the picture of whats going on over there. Recently there have been fishing closures, both surf and inshore.

Then there are weird things like blooms of algae that have nuerotoxins that climb the food chain and effect the predators. Sea birds and seals would be staggering around on the beaches...most of them die.

There are also the humbolts. I have heard reports that these huge schools of humbolts are out of control. They can tear through schools of game fish and tear them apart.

What makes the big press are the seals....which at least is a catalyst for the huggers to take action.

first the activism to resist the closures....

then the application of the closures......

Darwinism at it's finest,it's to bad that we'll feel compelled to try and save yet another specie.When
We cannot save our selfs but yet we possess ignorance to attempt to save a species when nature will handle it all on its own.

They're starving because they can't find enough food to eat?

Yeah, and fish are dying out of water because they can't breathe.

Could they be any more infantile in their new approach?
Maybe they should wait until they have a REAL answer, and they broadcast the story then???

Maybe they will resort to canibalism and start eating each other?? That would do the trick!!!:uhuh:
