We ask that you do more to protect these animals. These are very serious crimes against wildlife. Please investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. At the very basic level, human beings need to understand, because it is their constitutional right to bear arms, it is not their constitional right to kill whatever they feel like, especially something that is protected.
We hope you see this crime for what it is, an animal serial killer. In 2010, five sea lions were discovered shot to death near Seattle in a similar case which has yet to be resolved. Find this individual before they moves on to people, if they haven't already.
