Mystery surrounds the gruesome discovery of at least thirteen dead sea lions which have washed up along the shore near Seattle.
Dead California sea lions have been reported along the shores of Puget Sound near Seattle, including six with gunshot wounds and another which was discovered last week with its head cut off, according to a marine conservation group.
RT reports: Bullet ridden corpses of California sea lions are becoming an all too common occurrence around the waters of Puget Sound, according to The Seattle Times. Since September, a total of 13 sea lions have been found dead in the area, some bizarrely displaying gunshot wounds, with another more recent case involving a badly mutilated creature.
A floating dead sea lion washed up on West Seattle with its head entirely gone. Clean cut. So, since 9/29, we are now at 4 confirmed shot and one apparently decapitated. This is 100% @SenatorCantwell‘s fault for declaring war on seals and sealions. pic.twitter.com/JXayC748QG
