Feds Give Authorization to San Diego to Wipe Out the
Seals in LaJolla,
California
The Seal Haters have won a victory in San
Diego and the
National
Marine Fisheries Service has given written
authorization to the City of
San
Diego to remove the the seals off the beach at La
Jolla permanently
under
Section 109(h) of the MMPA. The City has apparently
told NMFS they
want
permanent removal of the seals. No permit will be
required, and
removal
could begin tomorrow. NMFS suggested in strong terms
that if the City
was
planning to do the dredging during the pupping season,
the seals should
be
gotten rid of by November 1. The written
authorization from NMFS was
planned, in collusion with City officials, on
September 16th in a
closed
meeting in Long Beach.
This means that the last seal rookery in
Southern
California has
been removed to make way for the convenience of more
people.
According to marine mammal scientist Jim
Hudnall, "The use
of
109(h) to authorize the destruction of an entire seal
rookery is absurd
and
probably illegal, but obviously in keeping with the
times and the rogue
nature of our current Federal and City government.
The question is,
what do
we do about this? My suggestion: start screaming, any
way you know how.
Be
sure you are well armed with documents for the media.
I have the
pertinent
letters, and will give/send copies immediately as you
request.
If you are interested in helping the seals of LaJolla
survive please

Captain Paul Watson has visited the seals in LaJolla
and found them to
be a
remarkable experience, especially for children.
"Surely," he said, "you
would think that our society could spare just one
patch of beach for
the
seals. We have taken so much from them for so long. Is
there no limit
to our
greed and our contempt for the rights of other
species?"
