The story I read said that firearms will not be permitted so I assume some very expensive inhumane trapping, lethal injection method will be implemented. Which will create a public outcry and a court order to stop the killing. What would be wrong with a rifle bullet and let them wash out to sea? I've heard the Stellar Sea Lion can weigh over a ton. How do you properly dispose of a sea lion?

Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."
