Sea lions have been attacking people at the beach in Orange County who get too close and marine wildlife experts believe the mammals may be acting aggressively after being sickened by poisonous algal blooms.
Pinnipeds are territorial. It is an asinine excuse to say its an algae bloom. The excuse is probably intended to shy away from the real cause.
Stupid fucks in fed and state govt have pretty much given the whole coastline from Canada to beanerville over to the marine mammals. The entire coast , California at least, is now a continuous federal Marine Mammal Sanctuary (MMS). That means what a human can do (from 1/2 mile or up to three miles, depending, inland to 12 miles offshore) is limited and usually under observation by state or fed employees with arrest powers. (Yes, little Suzy with a biology degree now working at a state or fed agency can cuff you.)
Throw a rock into the *vicinity* of a seal, walrus, otter (open to interpretation of how close is close enough) may incur $10,000 fine + prison. Intent to harm is automatically assumed. A pesky seal taking one small bite (then spitting it out) out of each fish you catch? Too bad for you, it is unlawful for you to do anything to prohibit the seal. Even commercial fishermen are no longer allowed to harass a marine mammal chomping its way through their catch.
Kid's Beach in San Diego, a man made protected pool for the kids, has been, like most everywhere else, overrun and claimed by the mammals.
Yeah, sea lions are aggressive by nature. I mean, they'll tolerate your presence if you are not threatening your space, and they will IMMEDIATELY let you know when you are close enough, like break your eardrums kind of letting you know. They're seriously not cuddly and they stink to high heaven. Even if they all appear to be napping, there is one wide awake and ready to bite your leg off.
Maybe they're sick on top of that, but KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
If they're sick, it is likely because they are malnourished. Disgusting humans in high places have allowed, nay, encouraged massive population bloom of marine mammals to unprecedented numbers. Remember, its all part of humans as gods creating utopia.
Sea Lions suck! Horrible creatures. they rip the guts out of every yellowtail you hook some days. They are faster than the long range boats and the only way to get rid of them is to drop them off on another boat. Gaff a fish try to walk it down the boat and get your shoulder ripped out of the socket. Only good thing is every now and then they eat the gaff hook...Looks like a submarine periscope slowly sinking to the white sharks.
Killer whales have been attacking fishing boats.
ReplyDeleteSomething’s up.
Now if they'd only start attacking Greenpeace boats.
DeleteThey seem to have been paying particlar attention to "migrant " boats. 'Tis a Good Thing.
Deletethey're actually teaching other pods that those floaty-things have tasty snacks if you tip them over.
