[CINC] UPDATE - Oregon Sea Lions NOT shot -- Re: Update on Seal Shootings

[islandkayaker at earthlink.net]

Hi All,

I heard this report on NPR today that talks about the sea lions in Oregon were in fact NOT shot...

===
All Things Considered, May 7, 2008 · Over the weekend, six sea lions were found dead along the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. The sea lions feed on the spring run of chinook salmon, much to the annoyance of fisherman, so the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife had set traps to catch and remove the sea lions. 

Agency spokesman Rick Hargrave talks with Melissa Block about the investigation into the animals' deaths.
