		<description>&quot;Funny how you want to follow the US Constitution but ignore the State of California Constitution or the CALIFORNIA COASTAL ACT.&quot;  
  
I&#039;m no constitutional scholar but I&#039;m pretty sure the right to free speech is guaranteed in the California Constitution as well. The language in the State Constitution and the CCA can be interpreted to support either side of this debate so citing out of context sections is pointless.  
  
&quot;Seals are not in need of &#039;special protection&#039; no study has shown that they are in danger. Their numbers are growing.&quot;  
  
No one&#039;s saying that harbor seals, as a species, are in danger. Citing &quot;special protection&quot; from the CCA has no relevance here. Thanks for sticking to facts at least. </description>

Seals are not in need of &quot;special protection&quot; no study has shown that they are in danger. Their numbers are growing.

Section 25. The people shall have the right to fish upon and from the public lands of the State and in the waters thereof, excepting upon lands set aside for fish hatcheries, and no land owned by the State shall ever be sold or transferred without reserving in the people the absolute right to fish thereupon; and no law shall ever be passed making it a crime for the people to enter upon the public lands within this State for the purpose of fishing in any water containing fish that have been planted therein by the State; provided, that the legislature may by statute, provide for the season when and the conditions under which the different species of fish may be taken.  
  
ARTICLE 10, WATER  
  
Section 4. No individual, partnership, or corporation, claiming or possessing the frontage or tidal lands of a harbor, bay, inlet, estuary, or other navigable water in this State, shall be permitted to exclude the right of way to such water whenever it is required for any public purpose, nor to destroy or obstruct the free navigation of such water; and the Legislature shall enact such laws as will give the most liberal construction to this provision, so that access to the navigable waters of this State shall be always attainable for the people thereof.

		<description>The correct term is actually free speech. The goal is not to attack or destroy anyone. The goal is to protect this particular community of seals from unwarranted harassment.  
  
Shared use advocates need to stick to the facts and stop trying to label everyone who disagrees with them as a terrorist. </description>

		<description>The correct term is Animal Enterprise Terrorism. It may not be a farm or research lab but the goal is the same, attack and destroy anyone who does not agree with the animal rights meme. This includes bullying business&#039;s into compliance. </description>
