I get just as pizzed as the next guy at those goofy lookin fifteen pound flyin crap factories, but will do my darndest to release one with as little harm as possible if there is an encounter.
And IF I see someone abusing them, 'Johnny Law' is gonna hear about it!

It unnerves me how bold the pelicans and blue herons (on shore) have become about approaching (and even stalking) humans because so many are being routinely fed by these stupid people!

The news video showed a park official feeding one of them.

Thank you for proving my point!

I have always carefully removed hooks and released everyone I ever caught and have helped many others do the same. I have never even witnessed anyone purposely harming one on the pier and that covers 60+ years of pier fishing. A towel over the head normally calms the bird enough to take care of his problem.

people should not feed them but by far this dose not mean that people should hurt and abuse them i hate them as much as the next guy but no need to cause a commotion if we had a pipe at the cleaning station i feal that would help mabey not alot but it could not hurt
