PORTLAND, Ore. - The Humane Society of the United States wants a federal judge to prevent the capturing or killing of sea lions feasting on salmon a Columbia River dam.

The group said in a motion filed in U.S. District Court on Friday that agents could begin taking the sea lions as soon as next weekend, and asked for a permanent injunction. If the request is denied, the group said it would likely would seek a temporary restraining order to be effective before Friday.

The order encourages capturing the animals if possible and finding homes for them in aquariums and ocean theme parks but said they can be euthanized after 48 hours if no homes are found.

Is the authorization to capture and kill sea lions too outrageous of a solution to protect endangered salmon? Is there not a more humane approach to this?

  • I think the people who think that killing the sea lions is the right solution have certainly not seen that picture above.

  • The salmon farmers are probably being to cheap and lazy to take the right actions to protect the salmon from the sea lions
