That could have ended very differently for the Sea Lion.

Freedom is a human right, and it should be an animal right too.

And presumably the sea lion is not being punished for a crime.....

It's hard for me to know why Putin is doing what he's doing. When he moved on Crimea, was he doing it because of the advance of European influence closer to Russia's borders? He's short on good allies unlike 'the west', so can he let people chip away at his comfort zone? Or is he a crazed imperialist?

I don't know. Why don't I know?

Because my government have shown themselves over the years to be a bunch of twats who will literally tell bare faced lies, whilst smiling, and when confronted with the horrors of what they've done they throw their heads back and laugh like a fucking sea lion swallowing a fish whole. And that's what they've done to their OWN PEOPLE. To other countries countries we declare war and send in the multinationals to rape their resources. I consider the invasion of Iraq equally dodgy as the invasion of Crimea. So my moral compass for what's ok and not ok no longer has a baseline.

On the other side, a bunch of people who used to know how the world worked back in 1970 probably thought propaganda was the best way to whip up some nationalistic pride and resentment toward the reds, but in 2017 the majority of young people don't trust a single word they say. So these 70 year old media mogul billionaires can't even tell a believable truth anymore - even if Putin's tanks were half way down my street i'd have to clap eyes on them before i could be sure.

Plus Russia's leadership is Putin himself, he's the spearhead, and he's very cunning. Our leadership is spread across a set of democratically elected people, half of which are both incompetent and self interested, while half of those remaining are merely one or the other. It's easier for one person to look competent and assured. Someone like Merkel has to share the associated incompetency of whatever the German equivalent of her 'cabinet' is.

They are going to get that sea lion killed. Even though it is just being a sea lion.

And today being a beautiful day and the Monday of a long weekend hordes of people were back there to see if they could spot the sea lion. And they could and they were still feeding him and sitting on the edge of the dock with their backs to the water.

Yeah, there's a reason they're called sea LIONS and not sea-kittens.

Kudos to the guy that jumped in to rescue her. I was expecting the usual bunch of people standing around freaking out, but this dude just went straight into action like a boss!

BOB! Follow me! Honest! I saw on WhaleTube last night that sea lions hide under these things!
