Sea Lions found shot to death
This is from the Los Angeles Time pet blog. We're looking into the matter, but this is all we know so far.
Federal authorities are investigating the deaths of two sea lions found in Seal Beach with what appeared to be shotgun wounds.
City lifeguards discovered the two adult sea lions north of the Seal Beach pier Wednesday morning, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service sent an agent to investigate, said agency spokesman Jim Milbury. The sea lions probably died about two weeks ago but just recently washed onto the beach, he said.
The animal's bodies were being taken to the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro.

From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
