Sea lion cure

Just to clarify the Stellar Sea Lion is listed on the ESA (endangered species act) and the California Sea Lion and Pacific Harbor Seal are not. The Stellar Sea Lion range only reaches as far south as Ano Neuvo Island off Central CA so everything down in SoCal is a Calif Sea Lion. Not endangered.

I still don't think you can Hassel them. I am not even sure why this thread is still going. Just leave them critters alone. They have a right to be there also. They were fishing before we were.

It ain't hasseling them, it's just a lil tickling.

They don't like being tickled.

Hey guys, just an FYI, it is legal to use slingshots and paintball guns to shoot them. Not for fun but for everyones safety. Just make sure that it does not cut them or break their skin. It's only legal if it gets dangerously close.

They have been known to attack kayakers and divers so it's not a matter of who was in the ocean first. It's a matter teaching the sea lions to stay away from humans for their and our safety.

You can/should speak to a DFG officer about this when you can so that they can fill you in on the details.

just my two cents...
