"Today, activists from the Sea Lion Defense Brigade and In Defense of Animals, along with several autonomous individuals, crashed a press conference held by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) at Bonneville Dam. The press conference was being held to pre-emptively curb public revulsion over the agencies' plans to kill sea lions on the river beginning next week. They did not announce the conference publically, and they made it clear that "press ID will be required" in order to attend. Nevertheless, activists and some independent media representatives managed to skirt the crack security out there (yes, the same crack security that allowed six sea lions to be mysteriously trapped and killed last year...), and infiltrate the conference. They actually gave us all hard hats and ID badges."
