‘How do you feel about Astoria’s sea lions?’
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“I think it’s time
for a conductor to
get them to come
together and sing
a really nice song.
Maybe some Beatles
covers. I love them.”
“They may be
noisy, but they don’t
bother me. They are
God’s
creatures.
Maybe they should
do something to move
them, but not kill them.”
Mary de la Salandra, Astoria
Omar Guerrero, Astoria
“I think that we
should
respect
their presence here
because they are
native — but at the
same time, I under-
stand the threat they pose to
the piers and docks.”
Lizzie Stoesz, Astoria
