Sea lions are, generally speaking, found in - or in close proximity to - large-ish bodies of water, such as the Pacific ocean or the rivers that empty therein. But every now and then, as was the case yesterday in Astoria, Oregon, you can spot one taking up space in the parking lot of a local store. It's not entirely clear whether or not the Marine Mammal Protection Act is applicable in shop parking lots, but it's best to move the animal along and back to the river before it inadvertently becomes a 400-pound speed bump. And so it fell to Astoria's finest.
The Sergeant handles it quite well; Portland police would have no idea as to how to deal with the situation, although tasers would likely be involved. At least that's a step up from guns, but probably wouldn't elicit their desired response; at the very least, someone would end up at a hospital, and that someone wouldn't be the sea lion.
Sea lions shouldn't go shopping - that's Cultural Appropriation!
Nothing to see here, folks - move along....
And what do we make of the rat, filmed standing on its hind legs while lathering up and showering down in Peru? That's the height of Cultural Appropriation!
Rats don't get to use soap and take showers, much less clean their armpits. They're supposed to be dirty; you can't get a good plague going if they're going to be adopting human habits like taking showers.
