Sea Lions Shot in Astoria, Again!

SLDB observers report on May 18,2015 at approximately 9:00am that eleven bullet shell casings were found on the causeway in the East Mooring Basin in Astoria, Oregon. This incident was reported to NOAA and is now under Federal investigation.

At 10 :20 am a sea lion suffering with a severe eye injury is observed

This is the second time bullet shell casings have been found in the EMB within two months. At the same time SLDB observers have documented numerous sea lions suffering with severe head and eye injuries from what appear to be gun shot wounds.

  1. They are killing sea lions for eating fish .. This is just barbaric … Hold these people accountable .. What part dont people understand .. marine mammals eat fish which is part of their diet!!
