A homeless empidemic, healthcare waits of an irrational length and rising tuition... but we're giving a 14-year-old animal with a 20 year life span, CHEMO?

Not to mention there's thousands of these fucking things all over the beaches here. Jesus.

2. The hake and herring lobby is not what it once was

Sea lions are cute unless you're a fish. Wait, they're not that cute anyhow. You're right, what gives? :D

3. Plus, if I wanna see one I'll go to third beach at eight AM

I don't need to see one in captiivty

5. Does it have a good health plan?

6. maybe its for testing purposes? like if chemo works on sea lions?

7. If the aquarium has the money, why shouldn't the sea lion live out his natural lifespan?

I'm sure the caretakers at the zoo are probably attached to him, as well. I'd do whatever I could afford for one of my pets, even though I "could just go get another one." It wouldn't be the same animal.

8. It's canada

I imagine this chemo is taking time away from human needs.

9. Fortunately, you can rest easy about that and the sealion can get chemo

The Vancouver Aquarium doesn't get governmental funding.
