Seal/Sea Lion Killers Are Guilty of Hate Crimes

(Note: The following was based on an earlier post I wrote on December 18, 2012, entitled Wolf Hunters Are Guilty of Hate Crimes. The wolf hunting and the seal/sea lion killing situations are so similar that about all I had to do was substitute the words seal/sea lions for wolf.)

 

It occurs to me that the killing of seal and sea lions by those who detest them qualifies as a hate crime. By definition, a hate crime is: A crime, usually violent, motivated by prejudice or intolerance toward a member of a social group.

Well, you don’t get a much more social group than a herd of sea lions—and you don’t find any greater prejudice or intolerance than among those who hate the seal family.

In addition to charges of pre-meditated murder and kidnapping, the person or persons who ran over the mother seal and left with her newborn pup in Ocean Park, WA, should be charged with committing hate crimes.

The same goes for the people who have been hatefully killing sea lions up at Bonneville Dam.

  1. Dumb self-proclaimed “hunters” are showing their true colours!!! This is not the first hate crime and every other one is close enough. ONLY angry, miserable, coldhearted humans can murder defenceless,innocent,vulnerable and clueless living soul when there is no need for it at all. Killing for “fun”,”sports”, trophies or even food is totally wrong. In my book this is CRIME against nature and it’s living beings!
