He didn't know till he tried. He's got a brain the size of a chihuahua's. And he's conditioned to seeing food at that location.Nice fish Skipper. Not a little girl.
Too bad. I see some great barbecue fish and fish tacos.Btw that's not my fish.
Best damn fish in the ocean right there. Makes me hungry just looking at it.He didn't know till he tried. He's got a brain the size of a chihuahua's. And he's conditioned to seeing food at that location.
Look closely at her dress. If I'm a sea lion, I'm thinking could be a halibut. I'll give it a shot.
Btw that's not my fish. I caught the picture on the Internet.
He was a family member.I noticed the Good Samaritan didn't ask if she needed or wanted help. He didn't contact the harbor master. He just helped. Quickly. Instantly. And not one word of thanks from mom.
Yup. Fast. No time for doddling.Skipper, how about this. From the time the Sea Lion grabs her to the time she hits the water? 6/10 of a second. And, time from when she hits the water to time rescuer hits the water? Aboutn 2.6 seconds.
One probably does not get sued for a successful outcome where there are no "damages." If there ensued a "tug of war" between the rescuer and the sea lion, and the little girl drown or was bitten badly then.....who gets the bill? Some lawyer claiming Vulcan mind-meld capability might convince a jury that more actual harm was caused by the rescuer than the animal, who just loves little girls, and was just about to put her back on the dock unharmed.I noticed the Good Samaritan didn't ask if she needed or wanted help.

What's the law in British Columbia?Furthermore, it's ILLEGAL in California for her even to be on that dock w/o a PFD on.
I've never heard of that.Furthermore, it's ILLEGAL in California for her even to be on that dock w/o a PFD on.
A few years back, while in Yellowstone, we witnessed a man approach a full grown elk to get a picture. The elk had no way out except to charge right at this guy. Luckily for him the elk was content to just lie where he was. Coulda been another Darwin Award recipient. There not called "wild" animals for nothing, people!It's very poor judgement on the part of adults/parents to encourage kids to "play" with wild animals or to remain that close to them. You see this often in the wild parks, such as Yellowstone.
I've never heard of that.
It might be recommended, and a good recommendation at that for kids, but I'm fairly certain it's not illegal.
