I keep up with N.W. news by logging on to Oregonlive.com. When i lived in Alaska in the late sixties, there was a ten dollar bounty on harbor seals. Why, because they ate salmon, and by eating I mean, take one bite out of this one, leave it and take another bite of out that one, leave it, on and on and on. They are crafty critters. I remember the Sea Lion at the ballard locks in the late eighties. He would proudly do the same thing, a bit here a bite there...very ugly and down right discusting! He behaved like he was flaunting you. They snared him once, took him out to the straights and let him go. He was back a week later. Crafty critters.
