Unattended vessel

There`s definitely an overpopulation of that species.

I made a Haisla (local First Nations) fellow laugh one day by telling him that white people are like dandelions in that they show up unannounced, uninvited, and take over without asking

Greetings,
Mr. MM. And no matter how many times you cut their heads off, they keep coming back.

Fortunately for the Sea Lion they don't taste like chicken of they wouldn't pose a problem. We sometimes have a seal issue in our marina and I can confirm they do not like to be squirt down by a hose.. damn things are a mess for sure.

White people, or dandelions?

A further question; do both make a lovely spring salad?

For last few years, the occasional seal wanders way up into freshwater sloughs of SF Delta. Was not that way in years previous.

We don't go in or stay in water when they're spotted. Cause... they are for sure hunting food. Seen fish flurries on water top with them in hot pursuit.

Sea lions do the same thing up here. They go 25 miles up the Skeena River to feast on millions of spawning oolichan in late winter along with thousands of gulls and hundreds of eagles when there's still ice on/in the river. An amazing display of Nature!

Only place I`ve seen sea-lions in Australia is on beautiful Kangaroo Island (currently affected by out of control bush/wild fires),off the coast of South Australia. They frequent several beaches, leave the kids onshore while they go fishing, and are dangerous if you get between them and the water.

One stole my 40 lb halibut right off the line. Then he jumped out of the water as if to tell me it was his now!

I have had stink flipper in the past and I can say it is an acquired taste....

I've been mistakenly calling these seals... sea lions is more accurate.

Am I the only one who think this is funny?
I would rather prefer to see a duck, a goose or a sea lion p**ing or sh***ing on my swim platform than a red neck full of beer vomit his sticking ideas to my ears... Isn't it part of marine life and easy to clean in 10 min with a hose?

Why a redneck full of beer?How about a pretentious lib full of cabernet espousing the virtues of socialism ?

If this helps you to get the idea I am fine with it, a comparison is mostly a matter of reference.

Hmmm. Ps. Merry Christmas you lot!

If you really want to see a mess... put a drunk redneck and a drunk liberal in the same jail cell due to DWI arrest - That is funny?

Read an article suggesting the increased presence of great whites off the New England shores and causing waters there to be evacuated by human swimmers has a lot to do with the increased population of seals in turn due to the laws protecting them. Makes me wonder how the current seal and GW population compares with say the day before the Mayflower made landfall.

 

[OldDan1943]

When they finally attack and kill a human, that is when the problem will be addressed.

Dont bet on it. "They" will say you were irritating the sea lions.

Hey wait a minute! Rednecks unite!!!! I resemble that remark I tell you.

But to answer your theory above: The Redneck would have the liberal stare at the below image as part of therapy. (Hope I am not violating TF policy).

Here's a good follow up book by Mowat, "My Discovery of America" tells of how and why he was barred entry into the US in 1985 to promote his Sea of Slaughter book:

*hint* NRA didn't want him spouting off about all the wildlife that had disappeared along North America's eastern shore, so they pulled some politically connected strings to have him banned.
