Here is what some scientists are saying is the cause in the decline of sea otter population.

Imagine that, Darwin was right!!!!! There is such a thing as survival of the fittest. The Killer Whale, larger, stronger, and more agile that the sea otter is actually preying on them. Considering the fact that the young pup sea otters are easy prey, is it a wonder why the population is declining. If you take away the young of the species how is it to survive??

Before blaming everything on man, you really should learn more about the ecosystem. Like it or not we are only one factor. The increase in the killer whale population can explain a decrease in the sea otter population.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
