Let's pick the sea lions! Portland judge said Wednesday the Northwest states can kill hungry sea lions on the Columbia River. The animals eat salmon as the fish try to pass Bonneville Dam each spring. Judge Michael Mosman’s ruling means Washington, Oregon and Idaho can shoot or remove up to 85 sea lions next year.

For instance, you can own a lion in Alabama, but not in California. In Oregon you can’t own any “dangerous” wild animals, but you can get a special permit for a service monkey and anyone can fill their backyard with giraffes. One’s ability to own an exotic species varies from state to state. Are we fed up yet?

Lions were re-introduced to the park a few years ago and have done so well the park now serves as a source of Lions for translocations.

I don't care if a chimp has tea with you every day at 3, watches TV, drinks whiskey and smokes cigars, it is still a wild animal. They should not be in people's homes any more then lions or tigers should. They are wild animals. Wild animals are some of the coolest animals around. That's what animals do sometimes.

I remember the guide on my first Kenyan birding safari remarking that “birding groups always see far more mammals than those who come just to see animals. Incidentally, encounters with both aardvarks and zorillas are rare – it’s much easier to see lions and leopards. Only in Africa is it really easy to see a big variety.
