Recommendation calls for killing more Bonneville Dam sea lions

(AP) — An advisory group recommends killing more sea lions that have been dining on salmon at the Columbia River’s first dam, known to some as the “Bonneville buffet.”

The advisory group says that the states of Washington and Or

egon should shoot the California sea lions on the spot, rather than trapping and killing by lethal injection.

One member o f the task force, Oregon Anglers executive director Dennis Richey, says if they saw the Bonneville Dam as

a dangerous place they would leave. A Humane Society official, Sharon Young, was the only member of the task force to vote against shooting.

The recommendation goes to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
