A baby elephant seal was repeatedly stabbed on an Oregon beach near Neskowin, an attack that has prompted a federal investigation. The seal, which survived despite the injuries, was found between 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on March 16. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries is searching for a male suspect described as a white man with black-and-white hair and distinctive features. Authorities emphasized the seriousness of the crime under federal law, encouraging the public to report any leads.
The adorable pup, which miraculously survived, was viciously knifed multiple times in a beach cove in front of the Proposal Rock Condominiums in Neskowin.
Investigators have a description of a person of interest and are asking for the public's help identifying him; he was described as a white man, about 5'10".
