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 on Venice Beach "spurting blood from a hole in her right side."
The organization tried to treat the sea lion, but it was too late.
In February 2009, a wounded sea lion pup was found at Dockweiler Beach. "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."
