MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Wildlife rescuers say three sea lions that washed ashore in Malibu earlier this month died of gunshot wounds.
Jonsie Ross with the California Wildfire Center tells KCBS-TV (http://cbsloc.al/1ajbiEX ) that sea lion shootings happen every year in October when squid fishing season begins.
Lights that fishermen use to attract squid also attract sea lions. Fishermen are allowed to use nonlethal means to scare away the sea lions.
