Young Mola,

While I respect your right to have an opinion, my opinion is that that may need to come up with a new moniker. I propose "Naive Mola" as one to consider.

One of the main reasons that seal lions, (not seals), have become a problem is that Man has stepped in and messed up the balance of nature. We have protected these animals to the point that their populations have exploded. Sea lions were never significantly present in our rivers until we built the dams which caused spawning fish to hold in a confined space making them easy prey for an opportunistic seal lion.

Just as we do in this forum when a big bite is on, one happy sea lion told a few of his friends about the easy pickings and soon there was a great congregation of non-native sea lions decimating the native fish population. Man caused this problem and Man should fix it.

As for your comment regarding the MLPA being a good idea, I will let others weigh in on that subject. I hope you are wearing your body armor.

Bob
