The federal government is taking the eastern population of Steller sea lions, ranging from Southeast Alaska to California, off the threatened species list. Here's the press release.
The western population, from Prince William Sound through the Aleutians, remains on the endangered species list.

Wow! 18,000 in 1979 increases to over 80,000 today. I guess that super human think tank of NO-UH really know-uh's what they're doing. Typical gov wasters. AND, they take credit for the recovery, and importance of food chain, and blah,blah, blah...
Sea lions are big, stinky, resource wasting, obnoxious...oh, I think I just stumbled onto why the winners at NOAA like them so much, they're cousins.

I'm reminded of that great commercial of a hot frying pan that has eggs added: "This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs".
There she Blowviates.
Go back to your cave and learn to read. I see no "credit taking" in the press release.
does this mean we can shoot them again
Aaahh, we have some NO-UH personnel onboard. Coffee and doughnuts are in the galley, pukin' is done over the side. Stay out of the way, real people are working here.
Back to yer' own cave and learn how to write mr. "I see no...", rock throwin' fool.

Drinking in the morning is a bad habit.
Its weird that certain imbeciles who rely on the preservation of a public resource to earn a living bad mouth attempts to save another specie from going extinct.Its all a moot point anyway in twenty years when salmon are listed due to ocean acidification,oh thee I go again,using real science to make a point
