Video Appears to Show Man Kicking Sea Lion on California Beach, Sparking Federal Probe A disturbing video circulating on social media appears to show a man kicking a sea lion on a San Diego beach, prompting widespread outrage and a federal investigation.
The incident occurred near La Jolla Cove, where the sea lion population is increasing during pupping season. City officials have implemented measures to keep humans at bay, but these efforts seem to be failing.
Instead of educating visitors about respecting protected species, authorities are left scrambling to respond to incidents like this one.
