Officials this week announced a $5,000 reward in the case of several sea lions who washed up wounded by gunshots.
According to Marine Animal Rescue, the latest case occurred Aug. 3 when an adult female sea lion washed ashore in Venice Beach "spurting blood from a hole in her right side."
The organization tried to treat the sea lion, but it was too late. "At least one bullet penetrated the pup’s spine. He was paralyzed, and in critical condition," the group said in a statement. "The pup had to be euthanized."
