Fight for Seals Moves to UN Special Report by Staff Writer Adam Baum After fruitless efforts by local, state, and federal officials to settle this crucial issue, the fight to allow harbor seals to take over a La Jolla beach has moved to the United Nations. The UN's busy agenda to address global warming, the financial crisis, and world hunger was interrupted this morning by a group of seal activists who traveled from La Jolla, California to plea their case. They loudly demanded a UN resolution to nullify the 78-year-old Children's Pool trust, which requires the City of San Diego to maintain the property as a children's beach.

Ban Ki-moon with harbor seal

City Council members thought the seal intrusion was funny until they realized they were duped into violating–not amending–a 1931 trust.

The group, calling themselves Fiends for Seals (FFS), then placed a large harbor seal on Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's table. Ki-Moon was mildly amused at first, but then visibly shaken when the seal spilled the Secretary-General's tea. This tactic was used previously at a San Diego City Council meeting with great success. The playful behavior of the adorable seals distracted Council members from pertinent laws, contractual obligations, and opposing viewpoints. Some FFS members have learned to emulate the seal's barking sound. They claim their barks, as a "sound of nature," supercede existing laws or the need for humans to retain rights to local beach access. The loud barking of FFS members had a clear effect on the judgment of City Council members. Every Council member except the one representing La Jolla caved, moving the issue to the state legislature.

City Council members–with the exception of Sherri Lightner–now believe that violating a written contract with a late, great philanthropist like Ellen Browning Scripps can be viewed as an "amendment." Other potential benefactors to the City are taking careful notes. Despite recent FFS victories, a group member's confession has caused turmoil never seen before among the hard-liners. Gail Storm, an FFS board member since 2003, confessed in an exclusive La Jolla Guide interview that the fight is based largely on aesthetics. "If these seals looked like giant cockroaches, naked mole rats, or vampire bats, our group would dissolve in a day. We'd be on the other side of the argument, urging the city, state...and the UN if necessary, to get rid of the ugly beasts." "But La Jolla is a beautiful town and deserves beautiful animals," Gail continued, "and these seals are just cute enough to keep us going. We'll never give up." La Jollans are happy to hear of this commitment, because when the news of welfare octuplets and another Great Depression fade from the headlines in a few years, readers will want some amusing local news to come back to.
