Cute creature nabbed
Print Edition
WHOEVER snatched a seal or sea lion pup from a Los Angeles beach should not be fooled by the animal’s cuteness‚ they could suffer a vicious bite, an animal rescue expert said.
A witness to the abduction said four people wrapped the pup in a blanket and left in a car around 3:20am on Sunday from Dockweiler State Beach, just west of the city’s international airport, said Los Angeles Police Officer Rosario Herrera. The witness said the two men and two women in their early to mid-20s were harassing and taunting the animal prior to the abduction.
The initial police report said the animal was a small seal. But a companion pup that escaped and was later found on the beach is a sea lion, according to Peter Wallerstein, the president of the group Marine Animal Rescue.
“The animal needs fluids, needs special treatments,” Wallerstein said. “You can’t just feed it dog food. It’s not going to work.”
