SLAUGHTER SEA LION
HERD BY MACHINE GUN
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT KILL
xMANY TO PREVENT DEVAS
TATION SALMON FISHERIES
Havoc was wrought among the sea
lions along British Columbia coasts
by the government patrol Givenchy,
which just completed a two week’s
cruise of slaughter against the ani
mals. Armed with one machine gun
and a number of rifles, the crew work
ed along the productive salmon areas
at Pearl and Virgin rocks opposite
Rivers inlet.
Approximately 2,500 sealions were
killed. Some of the carcasses were re
covered and the hides removed so
experiments may be made to see -if
they can be utilized for profitable
commercial purposes.
Discussing the object of the raids,
John P. Babcock, assistant commis
sioner of fisheries, explains that the
sea lions are highly destructive. They
live almost exclusively on fish, and
appear partial to salmon and cod.
The big Pacific Coast sea lion in
the New York aquarium consumes
over forty pounds of fresh fish per
day, much less than the average of
those on the coast here, where the
amphibians are more active and have
the opportunity to “help themselves.”
Mr. Babcock states that the sea lion
follows the salmon to the mouth and
estuaries of rivers on the north coast,
devours vast quantities of the fish,
and even robs the nets of the fisher
men.
The assistant commissioner pointed
out that it is extremely difficult to
kill lions along the west coast. They
do not breed there, but merely “haul
out on certain rocky islands to sun
and rest.
He commented upon Captain Hen
derson’s statement that no food was
found in the stomachs of the lions
killed on the rookeries and said this
was not surprising as the bulls on the
rookeries do not eat during the breed
ing season.
Mr. Babcock states that sea lions
on the British Columbia coast will not
be exterminated. An investigation b
the provincial department disclosed the
fact that there were approximaeely
eleven thousand breeding sea lions
on the three principal rookeries, Cape
St. James, Sea Otter group and Cape
Scott islands.
