News for sea otter lovers: Need a bit of help

A republican up here in alaska wants to put bounties on sea otters to save fishing beds and crabs. 100 $ a carcass. I would hope that you drop him an email in the politest tone possible to let him know this is not acceptable.

I see them all the time floating on their backs in the ocean down at Homer. They are an awesome animal. This man is beyond the pale. Did you know that they link arms while sleeping so they don't float away? They are the cutest animals ever and a real draw for tourists.

Here is the contact numbers and link to the story:
