Wow. With all of the bs dumped on the "fishermen" for shooting the sea lions...isn't this interesting. The sealions were not shot. They died of heatstroke and got bloody fighting with each other!

Google sea lions, bonneville, heatstroke or here is a link:

Oh...and they are saying..."someone" could have pulled the rope to spring the trap...suggesting that fishermen might still be blamed. Later in the article they say that the traps have had the doors close by themselves. Shame on the feds for suggesting that fishermen might still be responsible! Shame on the Oregon state officials. Shame on everyone who was too freakin fast to blame fishermen and who still are looking at "us" for their own mistakes.

When are they gonna learn that fishermen are more in touch with nature...than most people?

One last comment...the news put the story out. Gee thanks. This isn't going to be pasted all over the front page or make prime time news, like happened when you had some "fishermen" to blame. Golly gee...I kinda sound indignant, don't I?
