Don't hate them for doing what seems natural to them. We have let them become used to us, it is just like the cougars who we have taken their land. They are wild and will hunt whatever they can. If you want to hunt and fish, expect them to also. Fair is fair. And ok, I still think they're cute! But, bashing allowed, it is man who has allowed this , blame him, not the animals who just go along with the times.
How sweet and cuddly :rolleyes: . Wait until one of those 1500lb *******s tries to swim in to your boat after a salmon. As for cougars, atleast we can manage their population. People who get all misty about seals are generally people what haven't had run ins with them. As for me, if one tries to board the boat I am in after one of my fish.. Its head is going to get canoed by a 240 grain slug . I'll pay the court fees, its cheaper than drowning. If it gets to it before the boat I 'll let it take it, but this year they have gotten more brazen, trying to pull fish out of peoples landing nets. Also they follow commercial boats eating both fish out of the nets and wild fish that the netters release.
You are entitled to your opinion, but know that unedcuated bunny huggers cause more problems than good. (look at the hound rule and the current rise in cougar/people negative interactions )
