GOOD NEWS! The population of California sea otters is down to 2700 and falling rapidly. With any luck at all, they will soon be extinct!

The little varmints are the primary cause of the virtual decimation of abalone along the California coast. Abalone are sea otters favorite, and often only, food source and unlike us humans who have to observe a size limit that varies from 5 to 7 inches across, last time I looked, the damned otters take anything from half an inch in diameter on up.

The idea of taking only the larger abalone is that they must first reach a size where they can have bred and made new little abalone for a few years first, thus ensuring future generations. The cute and lovable sea otters don’t concern themselves with notions of future starvation, and eat miles and miles of coastline into abalone extinction.

What that has accomplished is the utter destructon of a once-thriving abalone seafood industry. Before the rat-like sea-going weasles called otters became protected from fur trappers, there were otters and there were otter furs and there were lots of abalone to eat for us people. Not any more. The damn things eat themselves nearly into extinction from starvation and so far have repeatedly returned with Federal help, to destroy the abalone that escaped them the last time.

This time I hope we see the last of them. The gluttonous little bastards have used up all their Darwin credits. It’s time for them to go.

This is too twisted to pass up. Gary Korkuc of New York state was stopped for a traffic violation. The officer heard a cat meowing in the trunk of Gary’s car, looked inside and found a cat marinating, yes, marinating in “oil, crushed red peppers and chili peppers”.

Gary said he was going to eat the cat. Obviously he was preparing to cook the cat for dinner. He also said that “that the neutered male cat got pregnant after he was spayed”. Huh? You don’t spay male cats and they don’t get pregnant either. This lunatic was released after being charged with animal cruelty and I have to ask “Why”? The guy belongs in a rubber room.

What’s he going to marinate in his car trunk next? A child? I don’t know which is crazier, Gary Korkuc or the cops who let him go.
