California brown pelicans are protected by both state and federal law. There are also reports of pelicans being attacked in Florida.

Paywall.

Aliens?

They’ve moved on from cows and people.

#MeToo

[Bikkuri]

UFOs?

Poor birds. They have a right to life too.
Even were someone so desperately hungry, that they needed to kill a Pelican for food, the humane thing to do is just quickly kill it.
You do not injure just to watch the suffering.
That’s deeply sick behavior.

Chupacabra moving on from goats?

[Uncle Miltie]

Time to up armor!

[Flick Lives]

Some sick people out there and the whole lockdown thing has made people crazier than usual.

It’s amazing to read a story about f—-ing pelicans being mutilated when thousands of abortions are conducted every year on innocent, unborn human lives. Simply f—-ing sickening.

[Deaf Smith]

Sea Otters taking out the competition for food sources?

[krogers58]

This is generally how serial killers get started - exteme cruelty to animals. It takes a certain level of psychopathy to torture animals, and though its “only” anomals, law enforcement ought to devote the resources to catch this slime ball.

[P.O.E.]

I saw Mutilated Pelicans warm up for Uriah Heep.

[cockroach_magoo]

Based on what Merrick Garland tells me, I bet it was done by white supremacist terrorists. And if the victims were brown pelicans, it better be prosecuted as a hate crime!

[Pajamajan]

Poor Pelicans. What kind of scum would do this to a defenseless animal? Hope they catch the lowlifes and put them in jail.

😡

[Honest Nigerian]

Thousands of aborted children could not be reached for comment.

[pfflier]

The mutilations have happened before and since pelicans are usually just offshore on the surf line, I suspect fishermen may be doing this. Maybe the growing homeless population invading California beaches too.

[dragnet2]

Florida too? Maybe it’s a group of anti pelican people.

[EinNYC]

Disgusting sickos who could hurt innocent animals.

[gundog]

Caught up in trawlers?

[ETCM]

Someone installed some windmills nearby?

[Veto!]

Ghastly. Only a vicious moron would attack those beautiful birds.
When I lived in Florida, I discovered that Pellicans love music. They congregated and flew over small bands playing at weddings on the beach. Far far better creatures than morons who attack them.
