These wild, native birds have coexisted with salmon since time immemorial. It’s absolutely disgraceful that we are blowing these birds out of the sky. It’s time to stop the killing.” http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/killing-one-species-intended-to-save-another-11000-birds-in-cross-hairs-of-multiyear-program/<br /><br />“This is not about birds versus fish,” said Bob Sallinger, conservation director of the Audubon Society of Portland. “The Corps and other federal agencies have proposed rolling back dam operations that benefit salmon while at the same time targeting thousands of cormorants." http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/5/28/cormorants-culled-to-protect-columbia-river-salmon.html<br /><br />“Dead set on killing cormorants, the Service ignored its own science,” said Collette Adkins, an attorney and biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The agency’s own analysis makes clear that its cormorant-killing program is doing nothing to help endangered fish. My heart aches for all the birds that have needlessly suffered and died. The killing needs to stop now.” https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2015/double-crested-cormorant-08-12-2015.html<br /><br />Authorities so far this year have trapped and put down 54 sea lions.<br /><br />see it dont stop,.... sea lions are target too<br />"http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/09/judge_allows_killing_of_cormor.htmlSea lions are targeted for capture and killing if they are seen eating salmon at the dam between January and May."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982886520681324884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-91322072982245416752012-09-04T07:25:02.189-04:002012-09-04T07:25:02.189-04:00Marvelous photos, Eileen.
