Elephant Seal standoff in California exposes human habitat destruction

   A brave Elephant Seal has confronted humans on a Sonomo County highway and refused to budge for a few days. The Seal was transported away from the highway after its first protest and then suddenly and surprisingly returned to the same highway trying to cross it like a chicken. As with chickens people were wondering why this Elephant Seal creature would cross the road. The local authorities tranquilized it after another standoff as the seal attacked people trying to move it with wooden boards and it refused to budge. somhave speculated that the seal was looking for a better place to breed as human  contamination of the waterways and oceans are forcing more marine mammals to make this land transition. This truculent Seal decided to block Route 37 and the image of the Seal willing to risk its body around speeding cars should be a wakeup call by wildlife to people of the dangers these mammals are willing to take to escape the destruction of its habitat. The Seal was sedated and evidently will be returned to its habitat that the animal was fleeing for some unknown reason but I am more than willing it has something to do with the animals innate ability to determine what is causing its environment to go bad. The mainstream media will keep declaring this Seal is stubborn but the Seal is likely reacting to the changes in its habitat that massive human intrusion is disturbing in some way. Seal is very adamant about getting out of the water and making this crossing and so-called wildlife experts need to study and declare why the Seal is acting in this way and in this place. There is something more to this story and likely some human water industrial dumping in the area local business wants others to know none of their business. This Elephant Seal decided to make it its business though and hopefully will continue to expose something.
