California sea lion euthanized for eating too much salmon

By at 12:36 am Tuesday, Mar 9

Wildlife officials manning the Columbia River euthanized a wild sea lion last week because it was eating too much salmon and frustrating local fishermen. There are 63 other sea lions on the official sea lion hit list; 11 were euthanized last year for the same reasons. A stateside sequel to The Cove, anyone?
