    Apparently, we may start killing sea lions soon:

    “The bill would create a temporary fast-track process for Oregon, Washington and the four Columbia River treaty tribes to get permits to kill a limited number of the sea lions when nonlethal harassment has failed.”

    So the message is clear, join the Navy or risk being shot! And stop snacking.
