A tiny bit irksome somehow, that in the well-intentioned effort to make people care about salmon, they can't stop talking about the precious, precious orcas! Like salmon aren't valuable and awesome in their own right. Also annoying on a totally different level is how actual policy has been to try to counter one blithe, destructive intervention (dams that hinder salmon) with another (killing sea lions which supposedly helps salmon). Just arbitrary, stupid stuff. Why not kill whales to help salmon then? "Well because salmon exist to support the precious precious orcas." But don't they exist to support sea lions too? "Yes but those are bad."
