Fishermen extract fish from the river and the rest of the Eco System goes hungry. Human animals are also allowed to let the Shad die a slow painful gasping breaths in buckets for hours. Sea Lions on the other hand consume their meals quickly-- 80% of the time-- their diet's consists of shad and other non native species-- introduced to the Columbia river for sport.

Endangered Sea Lions eat Shad and Pike minnow at the Bonneville dam not only the State's exclusive Endangered salmon. 
The State Pays money for fishermen to kill pike minnow. And the State of Oregon's economy is based on and Washington state both make money off of KILLING the SALMON. The Human animal is paid to kill and will make money while the sea lions are denied the right of sustenance because humans have declared ALL the fish for themselves. This is greed and it is a trait only exhibited in the Human species. This trait will be the human animals downfall on planet Earth-- Killing Sea Lions will not save the Salmon-- When there are more Shad and Pike Minnow(a bounty fish) in the Columbia river than Sea lions and Salmon.  Shad and Pike minnow--because they are a non native fish introduced by the sport fishermen-- they compete with the salmon for resources and according to the National Marine Fishery study 2009--ARE the number ONE threat to salmon recovery-- it was not-- nor currently-- are the sea lions.  But detrimentally to the state's economy the non native sport fish are killing all the salmon. The sea lion's diet consists of that "sport FISH" 80% of the time AND YES Even at the Bonneville Dam-- 
Humans ANIMALS have other means of sustenance.This human filled his bucket and went home. The sea lions should not have to pay with their lives for merely eating what the State pays money to human animals to kill for sport and is the number one threat to any real salmon recovery on the Columbia River.
