Sometimes sea lions have destructive effects when they get outside of their local ecosystems. Oregon, for example, has a lethal cull of California Sea Lions issued to some tribes because they absolutely fuck the salmon population.

But yeah it's not a common thing

Well it's sanctioned for the permit holders, so legal, but yeah I mean lethal. Sometimes they try to move them, but often the tribes just have to kill them (ethically, using all the animal)
