I see from your most recent news account (“La Jolla\u2019s \u2018Great Divide,\u2019 April 7, Page 1) that the contention over the Children\u2019s Pool at La Jolla has not been settled. As someone who has frequently visited La Jolla, most recently in mid-March, I want to add my voice to those who are supporting keeping the Children\u2019s Pool as a safe area for seals during the pupping season. My husband and I were appalled to see people not only picnicking in the area, but skindiving with spears, swimming right up to the mother seals and babies. I don\u2019t believe that the people who are invading this beach and harassing the seals mean no harm. Of course, they mean harm! Interfering with pregnant and nursing moms and their babies will mean seal pups will die! Why are people so greedy that they have free access to 99.9 percent of the beaches, but can\u2019t leave this one for the seals for even part of the year? My family and I, who have loved La Jolla, will not be vacationing there anymore. We won\u2019t spend money at your hotels and restaurants if you allow these morally bankrupt acts to continue. I\u2019m sure other visitors feel the same. \u2014 Rachel S. Imper is a La Jolla visitor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
