Judge OKs plan to kill sea lions at Bonneville Dam
A federal judge says the government can proceed with plans to kill up to 85 California sea lions a year at Bonneville Dam, where they gather annually to plunder the spring chinook salmon run.

PORTLAND — A federal judge says the government can proceed with plans to kill up to 85 California sea lions a year at Bonneville Dam, where they gather annually to plunder the spring chinook salmon run.
The Humane Society of the United States had sought to block the killings, claiming among other things that the sea lion predation was relatively insignificant compared to threats such as dams, fishing and hungry birds.
A Humane Society official, Sharon Young, said Wednesday the group will appeal.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman said in September that he hoped to rule quickly enough for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to decide the case before next spring.
