I am opposed to the delisting of the Steller Sea Lion. At this time, when the short and long-term effects of climate change are at best unclear, it is not prudent to delist any endangered or threatened species.
Furthermore, as California Sea Lions are currently being killed at Bonneville Dam for the crime of eating salmon (which are apparently only to be eaten by humans) it is highly suspicious that the steller sea lion (which has also been eating salmon at the dam) is now under consideration for delisting. This is too convenient to be coincidence.
