Hey , don't go there Art, the otters would rather eat steak like everyone
else but it's to hard to get reservations in avalon . let the water weasels
eat abalone, i have herd this same thing from the abalone fishermen, just
disregard the huge pile of shells that were all over the morro bay abalone
CO-OP's docks . couldn't be that the fishermen just took too many and now
they are coming back at a slow rate . easier to put the blame on pollution
then to say that they just overfished the wild stocks , Ferreter (leave the
water weasels alone)
