Aquatic mammals of La Jolla. Warning! pic-heavy!

[maveric]

I went a shootin at the La Jolla Cove today.


And just think, a few years back some Fat-Cats in La Jolla complained that the sea lions were a nuisance and petitioned to have them rounded up and dragged out to sea(Duh! They'll only come back!). Some even wanted to have them euthanized. Sorry repug-pigs. Its the sea lions natural environment. The ocean! The seals won their day in court!









And I'll finish up with a surfer-dude!

1. I love La Jolla cove!

I've seen those sea lions several times. They're great!

I wish I lived out there sometimes. San Diego is a fantastic place.

2. Nice shots.

They wanted to haul them out to sea? :rofl: Sounds pretty funny.

4. They want their waterfront free of animals, their claim.

They dont realize that the seals are intellegent creatures who will return to where they are comfortable. Therewas a nasty court case and the seals, with the help of the Sierra Club, won!

6. I guess I just do not

understand. A waterfront without animals? I guess they need to build a gated waterfront. Poor things, those darned animals poop and make noise and have no respect for the amount of money it takes to keep ones own personal waterfront nice. :shrug:

I would be honored to share a beach with the sea lions.

5. the natural predators of the seals have been killed off and they are

devastating the fisheries in the PNW.. on sea lion that hung out in the locks nearly made a species of steal head Trout extinct.. he killed every steal head that migrated up the locks..didnt eat them just killed them.

where i come from they are more than a nuisance. you cant eat the oysters because they are FULL of seal shit... parts of the sound smells like a sewer from them shitting out the entire salmon run.

it is rare to even catch a salmon anymore up there in many places

9. Do you condone the killing of seals to preserve the fish?
