someone just did the same to some elephant seals on the coast.SHot them with a rifle.Im sorry guys but this stuff is beyond our comprehention as to the reason for exotic life murders though its just as bad on domestic animals usualy its out of control issues or other disorders but why the going out of the way to hunt down endangered and protected animals is why I think their are aliens on this planet.This has been bad with the mountain gorillas being only 600 or so left in the wild yet the soldiers that invaded the area had used 5 or 6 for target practice and shot and killed them.I think that ppl who hurt domestic animals out of mental disorders and such need help through punishment and rehab but the ppl that plan out murder on animals in this manner need to be put up for charges just as if they killed a human.Do you wonder if someone had a battle with the iggys main guardian?Could it be a pay back?Just a thought.
