Talk:California sea lion

message: Not sure if this is helpful to anyone, but on Discovery Channel's 'Deadliest Catch' series (season 2), a pair of wild Californian Sea Lions are filmed, whilst swimming in Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, Alaska. This is a fair bit farther north along the coastline, from British Columbia where the article (and accompanying map) states the most northerly sea lions are found.

message: I think that the killing of these sea lions in an effort to save the salmon species should be addressed in this article.
I think that it was addressed but in a very biased way, in the status section.  Also anyone know what an ESU is, or did I just miss out on that one?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Navigator00 (talk • contribs) 01:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  sea lions 

message: IMHO :Image:Lion de mer Amnéville 01.jpg (not my photo, so I don't have a dog in this fight) or equivalent should be the lead photo because it shows a single individual, whereas :Image:Sealion052006.JPG shows a bunch of them and the bodies tend to blend into each other. I left the latter in the article, as 68.251.175.168 complained that we should keep it because it shows full-grown adults. If there are any objections, please raise them here before edit warring. Thank you. howcheng  {chat} 18:40, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know they're in the background, but the point is that it's hard to make out the individual in the center (and I also hate to mention that a breakwater is not exactly a natural environment either). How about one of the following:

message: In the debate over keeping animals in captivity, this article seems biased against the practice by repeatedly using "entertainment" as a catch-all description for all public display of sea lions. Marine parks and zoos, unlike circuses, are accredited institutions with educational missions. Even when training is a part of the animal's care (as it is in most zoos and aquariums) the assumption that training is done for entertainment purposes is flawed. Training is usually part of a comprehensive care plan that addresses psychological needs as well as physical ones.
Should there be something bringing up that training is a form of enrichment in the lives of captive animals, that leads to them being healther and better adjusted to their lives in captivity  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Navigator00 (talk • contribs) 01:45, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

message: FYI I've started a thread over at WikiProject Animals that concerns this article. Probably not a big deal unless the most recent edit is contested, but it's about using wild vs. captive animals as primary means of identification (in the infobox), when the quality is comparable or the wild image is better. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:44, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
