Sea Lion Kill OK’d

Fish and wildlife officials will be able to move forward with a plan to trap and kill California sea lions at Bonneville Dam. The Humane Society of the U.S. wanted to stop Fish and Wildlife Departments from Oregon and Washington from trapping and killing California sea lions that are eating salmon at Bonneville Dam. The Oregonian reports that a federal judge has denied a request for a temporary restraining order. The sea lions can only be killed if they've resisted previous hazing efforts and still won't leave the dam. The ruling allows the removal of up to 30 sea lions per year.
