Farewell depicts the struggle between the sea lions and the fishing industry. It also shares the pain and frustration of animal advocates who struggled so hard to stop the killing before it started, while apathy, ignorance, and greed led inexorably to the deaths of more than a dozen of these beloved animals last year. This is a remembrance of the animals who have died, and a call to arms to those who have not yet risen out of apathy to take a stand. The spring is coming, and we need to stand with the sea lions.
