I've never seen that in the USA - here I think they'd be concerned about the imprinting on humans.

[BlueVoiceOrg]

Yes, this is a real concern. HJ

that is harassment ...lol

[BlueVoiceOrg]

You may not understand that these animals have been rescued - their mothers are dead and the rehab team is trying to prepare the pups for reentry into the sea. HJ

@RedstarNighteyes i wasn't serious when i said to put them in the water.. i do realize they are still babies, and as such they do spend a period of their time on dry land where their mothers would feed them until they are able to swim. my concern was with habituation and imprinting on people. i dont feel that bonding with wild animals helps them in anyway to return to the wild.

@Smartass11111 well mister "i'm not an idiot because i call 'marine mammal center'", have you thought that maybe this is also a "marine mammal center"?

[RedstarNighteyes]

@mugge62 then maybe you should go the Biennal Conference on Marine Mammals, and see for yourself, that those so called "experts" are only half of the scientists working with animals. The other half believes that rescue and rehabilitation works and it's worth it for the sake of conservation.

@dkaisin y con qué autoridad criticas el trabajo aqui, cuando ni siquiera puedes diferenciar entre foca y lobo marino?, regresa a la escuela o infórmate primero.

[RedstarNighteyes]

@showstoppa84 sea lions do not go into the water until they're ready, the time varies among species, therefore, just turning the animal into the water without asessment or knowledge can be counter-productive.
